RE: [Leica] Re: R8: new lower German price and 5 yr guarantee

Mark - A little objectivity here, please? I, too, plan on getting a G4 one
of these days for my PhotoShop work. But 5 percent of the market is not
"back from the dead." Apple could have been where Microsoft is today - had
they had Gates marketing genius. Instead, they are "back from the dead" as a
boutique manufacturer.

All I'm saying is that if Leica has major dealers poking them in the eye
with sharp sticks in big print ads, they better wake up real fast...
