B.D.

Hand each person an M6 and a compact flash card.  

If they spend longer than one minute looking for a CF slot, assume they have 
much to learn about photography, digital or otherwise.

If they toss the flash card and ask for film, take it as a good sign. 

If they toss the M6 and ask for a digital camera,  take it as a bad sign. 

If they toss the flash card and hold the camera with reverence, take it as  
really good sign.

If after a short pause they say, "hold on a minute, aren't you B.D Colen 
from the LUG?"..............run!
