My son, a N*k*n nincompoop, just bought a new Corvette and an
Olympus c5060. He is ecstatic about both, babbling on about how
great they each are, even sending endless digital pictures of
the 'vette.
Obviously, some of us have better taste and higher expectations of
the stuff we buy.

the OM-4Runner)
