Since I beat the odds by having my heart attack two and a half years ago in the ICU (and they told my wife afterwards it I had had it anyplace else they wouldn't have been able to get to me in time!) - I guess I'm happy if I live long enough to take one out of the box!! Actually I had very little heart damage and have no physical restrictions, so I should have some 15 -20 years left from that - but you are right it makes you stop and think! One reason I have lightened my camera bag. Lets see, 10-15 years, hmmmm - - my new M6 won't hardly be broken in by then, and none of my kids know how to use it - and worse, they don't care!
