Hey, not so fast.  There's my 1940 Ford Deluxe convertible, my 1957 
DeSoto 2 door coupe with big hemi, my 1964 Jaguar XKE convertible 
(drophead coupe to some), my 1973 Pontiac Grand Am with 400 cubic inches 
and, of course, my OM-1 and OM-2's.

But, I have to admit that my 1999 Chrysler LHS is a far more comfortable 
automobile than any of the earlier ones and I wouldn't be surprised if 
it could out corner the XKE.  And I'd have to get rid of the Grand Am 
after passing the first gas station.


Ergonomically, the digitals are far worse than the OM's but they sure do 
make pictures a lot faster.
