Don't think Olympus is sitting idle. One of the largest digital manufactures
in the business. Heavy advertising to keep it's market share.
We OM users on this list and scattered about need to come to the realization
that the OM System is grave yard dead, it just hasn't been buried yet.
Doesn't seem like Olympus gives a rip if ever another OM piece of equipment
sells. That ain't where the money is.
Kinda like hoping for Chevrolet to come out with another 57 model.... It
aint gonna happen :-(
