Winsor,
True, but Rick had to use his "computer brain" to control those old

I'm taking an enrichment photography course right now at the University
of Idaho. The instructor is making all of us use manual exposure, and
meter off of a gray card. His slogan is that "automatic cameras are
automatically wrong most of the time."
Of course, the poor soul shoots N*k*n; he might feel differently if he
ever met an OM-4 Ti!
