Andrew's got it all wrong. You need to wait until 'Antiques Road Show'
makes an appearance in your area and lug all your OM gear in for an
appraisal. I'm sure the Keno brothers would wax quite eloquent about it all
(my apologies to non-conus or at least North Americans for the
geographically specific TV reference)

You should send all of your Olympus gear to me. The OM system's only value
now is as museum pieces as a historical artifact of a bygone era.
Currently, I'm about to begin grad studies in History, my research would be
greatly benefited by having such artifacts to study. I would also be very
interesting in forming a research team of academics in order to attempt to
use these artifacts in the field. The goal of this would be to prove that
photography could actually be performed with these artifacts. Dontations of
artifacts and research funds would be greatly apreciated. Once a research
group has been formed I plan to aproach PBS with the possibility of a Nova
documentary.
