A lot of talk lately has, understandably, been surrounding the death of OM.
I think the OM System actually died in the mid '80s.....we're just getting
around to the wake in 2002. I say the death of OM occured in the '80s
because it was at that time the I think Olympus decided not to advance the
system in any way, rather they chose to simply maintain it and concentrate
their efforts elsewhere. While this decision certainly led to the death of
OM, it almost certainly guaranteed the survival of Olympus.
