First, there's no need for an Oly disguise kit - no one seeing you shooting 
with an Oly, or Canon, or Nikon will think that you're carrying an 
anachronistic status symbol - they'll know it's a wonderfully functional 
camera. ;-)

Second, sadly, Dr. Blacktape, deaf, blind, arthritic, and senile, had to be 
put down last fall. She was 107 in human years.

But that said, her last request was that I carry on her work. And if you 
will send me your MDs, or any other Leica, I will apply this essential fix 
to it for the - by Leica standards - extremely fair and reasonable sum of 
only $333.99; and believe it or not, that includes tax and insured shipping.

So send your defective equipment to:
Blacktape Enterprises,
1350 Massachusetts Ave. #1066
(just around the corner from Dewie, Cheatem & Howe)
People's Republic of Cambridge
02138

P.S. Dr. Blacktape's final worffs were - "always offer our friend Sonny the 
10 percent discount - I love those flowers."
