Yes, the recovery process starts with a Kodak disposable, or a Fuji if
you'd prefer. Film choice is a personal thing. But, I digress.
Next, we "promote" you to the Polaroid JoyCam (or I-Zone). That,
however, is about as far as we recommend a recovering Zuikoholic
goes. Our research shows that for those who go from a Polaroid to a
standard 35mm (*any* 35mm), the vast majority eventually slip back
into the addiction. It's just too easy to delude oneself by saying, "If I
can handle owning a Rebel, I know I can handle owning *just one*
Olympus." Sorry, folks, but it just doesn't work that way.

Yes you can kick the habit, Mark. And, you'll even eventually learn to
ignore all those snickers and pointing as you use your JoyCam or I-
Zone.
Patiently waiting for the two 24 shifts to arrive...
