All:

I've been reading the exchanges going on on the list, and I'd like to put my
2 cents in also.

1). Regarding mechanical M6 vs. future M's - I've just recently got my first
Leica (M6) and I REALLY like it. I'm sure it has shortcomings (like
everything), but it is so much fun to take pictures with!! I very much enjoy the
process of taking a picture, and I have not experienced that before with an
electronic camera. As for the small viewport, I got contact lenses to see
through it better. WOW is it nice to see the 35mm framelines! As for future
M's... Both Harley-Davidson and BMW motorcycles updated their product
line while keeping their "identity" and using new technology. For me, I am 
happy with the technology of my M, and secure that it will be servicable for
as long as I own it!

2). Regarding tricks and tips of M owners - This is really valuable stuff to me! 
I am already going to start setting my focus ring on infinity when not using. 
Such common sense! Thank you all!!!
