Soooo..... Who'd have thought in 2006 we'd be using holographic gigapixle cameras that don't need to print because they act as a projector as well - those 1Gb CF cards were sooo retro - these petabyte optical sticks are so much better - and those people who use those normal digital cameras which don't link to the ultra-net and use 7G phone technology are just luddites!

Wow, how times have changed since then! Imagine if back then someone had said, "In less than 15-years you'll be able to by a Leica M that doesn't even use film. You just plug the M into your computer and download pictures. Nobody will care about Kodachrome any more because the electronic photos will be better in every respect. Plus, you'll be able to make better prints with your dot matrix printer than you can with your Focomat." I'd have sooner imagined flying pigs. Makes me wonder what 2021 will be like. daveR -----Original Message----- From: Brian Reid [mailto:reid@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 9:38 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: RE: [Leica] LUG membership > BTW, when did the LUG get started? 7 April 1992: http://leica-users.org/v00/msg00000.html _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
