Sounds more like "what goes around comes around" or maybe "same Sh*t, 
different day".  Have we forgotten that at one time we could buy the likes 
of OM's and other major brands at not only Wolf and the other photo related 
chains, but also at J.C. Penney, Sears, Macy's, Rich's, Service 
Merchandise, etc. (fill in your favorite local department store and/or 
discount club).  It wouldn't surprise me to eventually see the likes of the 
E-300/E-1 at CompUsa or Micro Center.  Hmmm, maybe they're already there-I 
don't frequent them too often since my current computer needs are minimal.
