Well, if it is true that Olympus is still developing and producing OM 
system gear, what better way to get us zuikoholics into a buying frenzy 
than to tell us that OM is no more? It could just be a ploy by the 
sales reps to get us to buy more stuff out of panic. It could also be 
that they don't know what they are talking about, or that oly america 
really does want to kill om any way that they can. I did receive an 
email from oly japan awhile back that I shared, where they said that 
they had no plans to discontinue the OM system. I find this to be very 
confusing.
