Hi Kit,

I don't know (or really care) if I am in a small minority or silent 
majority on this list who does not want, or need, a Leica digital 
camera. As my eldest daughter used to scream before running for her life 
as a toddler when I tried to feed her mashed up peas:

"Can't LIKE IT!"

It would make for an interesting poll though!

Regards,

Greg
