no David, I am sorry... I am not impressed...just the sort of empty  
talk/BS I alluded to,

this is about as meaning as 90 % of the things our politicians say...

and you wonder why people are confused, uncertain, critical, dubious...


and don't blame it on Imacon...

it's Leica's camera...


I think Leica would be far better off saying and writing fact...

not hopes or desires or speculations...Steve
