Re: [OM] Re: OM 3 Ugly but alive.

The 3T also does SuperFP flash.

I may get flamed for this, but my advice on the OM-3 is to suck up your 
pride and go and get it if you _really_ want it.  The guy will get over his 
problem when you buy and you'll have a nice body at a nice price.  There 
will always be jerks who will try to shame you into doing something you 
don't feel comfortable with.
