Certainly, merely a light hearted post. Nevertheless I promise not to come
to your house and upgrade your computer for you; you don't be nervous for
the happy early adopters. I'm happy to share the M8 bleeding edge. Some
2,500 images with nary a bobble since February. You have to have the M8 to
appreciate the experience. I do love film Ms as well.

Cheers
Geoff

It is always a personal decision.

However, comparing new SW updates to Barnack's invention, etc,  is a bit of
a stretch......

All I can say is good luck......
