The top award was a gold plated framing hammer, which off the top of my head, cost close to a grand. That was, of course, back when home builders were rolling in dough. Today the top award would probably be a zinc plated finishing nail. :-) DaveR -----Original Message----- From: Philip Forrest [mailto:photo.forrest@earthlink.net] Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 8:56 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] un-believable This argument is like comparing framing hammers. Only that nobody would collect framing hammers, nor would anyone buy a framing hammer for $1000. I believe that Leica will go out of business in my lifetime. If they don't change their business model, possibly sooner, hopefully later. Either way, I will probably wind up saying "I told you so." I do that right now with the place that I work at. And I keep telling them so, but it's too late for them to listen as another failure has already occurred. Too bad. Phil Forrest
