With signs accumulating that the combined pressure of ~6,700,000,000 humans is 
taking a heavy toll on nearly all earth's life -- not to mention the lives of 
future generations of humans -- I find I am increasingly choosing to enjoy what 
I have, rather than lust for more.

Rather than trade in my entire system for the latest whiz-bang camera from 
whomever is top of the heap this week, I'm going to choose to learn more about 
getting the most out of my E-3.

Rather than rushing out and getting an E-5, I'm continuing to look for a nice 
used 50-200 SWD at a reasonable price, because it will supply a capability I 
don't currently have.

Rather than worry that someone, somewhere, has a better camera than mine, I'm 
choosing to make the most of what I've got.

The pace is going to slow down soon, probably in the next few years. Olympus is 
(as usual) just ahead of their time. :-)

If there is a food crisis, then, according to specialist logic, we must produce 
more food more carelessly than ever before. The energy crisis has been used, by 
the same logic, to justify the squandering of fuels. -- Wendell Berry
