Olympus letting go of the OM system should not have much affect on the
dedicated users of the classic OM stuff we've come to love over the last
25+ years. I'll be around for a long time. I like what I'm doing and am
happy to keep the old stuff going.
The last time I ordered a new 3 or 4Ti, I got the impression that OA wasn't
warehousing any, they were getting them on an "as needed" basis from Japan.
CBWT (could be wrong though).

Subject: [OM] dead idols ? adios OM system...
so we all are transfered from the old god zelotes group ... to the dead god
zelotes group...
no more Om... we are definitively collectible... (we... and our beloved
collection of old fashioned stuffs)
No commercial idolatry will keep them alive... and camtech will
definitively be entitled as the last priest of the dead idol.... (keep the
fire burning, John !)
so what's the feeling ... to be part of an icon... a cult object... ?
getting out, (be seen), with your Om gear will soon be fashionable...
Stephan
But who will sell the discarted stocks... I want a brand new 3Ti with a
24shift... (ok, should have known better ... sad song... never bought
anything new except an 2n twenty years ago...)... tell me where...
may be we could organize a big potlach with their remaining stock... (the
best way to achieve cult status... a good burial ceremony where everybody
gets drunk ...)
(sorry my english is as bad as my mood today...)
