Hi Buzz,

I believe the issue is FAR deeper than money, and that money is a really
bad
metric.

There are, of course, varying degrees of valuation, whether it be
emotional,
monetary, status, convenience etc.  Some people won't have their dog
"repaired", and some will spend anything to.  Some people don't
appreciate
Leicas, and could do just as well with a P&S.  There are few
circumstances
where one REALLY NEEDS a Leica, IMO.  Leicas are, for most of us,
disposable
income.  For some Leicas are their source of investment, or their tool
for
their trade.  Except for those, that makes them hard to compare to other
things that are far more necessity.  BTW, I do not believe college is a
"right", and am miffed that so many people believe it is.

Regards,

Austin
