I never thought I'd get into any kind of conversation about all these new fangled electronic machines of connecting one onto the other? Or in some cases a huge crowd? Certainly at this time in my life, not much of it left apparently! :-) Oh well what the hell that's how it goes. As wonderful as these gadgets are I see most of them as destroyers of verbal conversations and the beauty of a number of folks sitting about jabberwocking about life and how the hell are you!:-) I also appreciate in the world today, it is almost a mandatory piece of equipment if you wish to stay in business. The computer? Well I'm first to admit I'm still an illiterate in its use. Yes a few things I can do, as long as my mind remembers which button or key to push. Although I must admit, there have been times I have to phone one of my Sons and or their wives or my grand children..... so ok, "WHAT THE HELL DO I PUSH NEXT?" THEY Laugh AND FIX ME UP! :-) I'm tutored for a few minutes and I get by another Himalayan Mountain problem (well that's how it is for me. And it slowly appears to be worsening?? We shall see?) :-( The same as some of the new Leica's on the market? Some of your conversations about various fittings, adjustments etc go right over my head? "UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE HECK YOUR TALKING ABOUT?" I kind of shrug my rounded shoulders from the years of carrying 2 or 3 Leica's on each at various times during the past 60 years. However that's the way it was! Then the electrifying world of today? WOW!!!!!! So I think it's becoming past my time and maybe I should leave quietly some day to some place where a Leica camera, one lens and a fresh battery in each pocket along with a card is all you need to document the Angels doing their thing about the clouds. :-) cheers all. Have a great holiday weekend to all the Canadians online, it being LABOUR DAY WEEKEND in Canada. Not sure if it's a holiday for other Nationals? However have a good one in any event! cheers, Dr. ted :-)
