<<So of all people, should we be recommending the OM2000 when a
newbie asks the question or should we recommend AGAINST the OM2000
and suggest a used OM-1 instead?  Should we act as "evangelists"
for the OM system in general and make sure that Olympus is
successful with their SLR products and continue to develop new
products for it.>>

IMHO,  If you have good knowledge of the OM system it would be best to
qualify your answer by asking what features are needed by this novice.
Spot meter?  Double exposure?  Motor drive?  Full system or limited?
A new factory camera or potentially someone else's headache?
I would guess that many used OM1's need to be CLA'd and new seals put in.

PS. I would forget about much more coming from Olympus in the OM line.
