On trouver=E1 tous les avis, ou pour ou contra, n'import quoi, ici. Mais
aujourd'hui, le 14 juillet, tous les fran=E7ais du monde pourraient c=E9l=E9=
brer
(et, peut'=EAtre, ceux -- comme moi -- qui seulement aimeraient parler
fran=E7ais)! Aux Etats-Unis, on a =E9cout=E9 qu'il y avait plus de gens aux
Champs-Elys=E9es que depuis la Lib=E9ration! Voil=E0: une file Leica!

Ok, ok. Sorry. And while I haven't used the M5, it's hard to read this
message and not wish I were in Paris today. Of all years to be in the
States! H=E9las!
