What causes an LCD to become useless?  If one had two OM-4Ts of equal age and
used one and stored the other (this is hypothetical!), would the LCDs or both
be done for at the same time, or do they in fact wear out from use?

Being dependent on an OM-1 or -2 wouldn't be the end of the world, but it sure
wouldn't be my first choice.
