A very LOOOOOOOOOOONG time :-)

US$135? No manual adapter?! <shock!> <horror!>
I doubt they're going to sell very well...
Chuck in a manual adapter, a flashgun and the instructions and I guarantee
the OM would get sold. Let's see... $20 flashgun, $10 m/a, $5 call to
Olympus for the manual... $100 for the camera body... Equals $135 (or
UK£90).
I wonder if that little arrangement would be enough to forcibly wean someone
off an old 35mm compact...
