Well Sly, I was so enthusiastic about your Nov/Dec topic I went and bought another camera! Actually, my old workhorse Olympus developed (no pun intended) a glitch, and when I took it to be repaired, I was told they no longer can get parts for it.
Then, I tried to get another Nikon SLR and all I could find was digital,digital,digital! Finally picked one up on e-Bay but I'm begining to have my doubts about the future of film...
