Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+red735i=verizon.net at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Richard Man Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2015 10:21 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] How many times have Leica died or will die? It's notably that Apple at 2000, was dying. So bad that Steve Job had to bargained with his nemesis, Bill Gates. Since 1984, many epitaphs have been written for Apple. In 2015, Apple is now the largest company in the world (*cautious people always jump in and say - for now - *). Wasn't Leica in trouble in the late 40s until they came out with the Leica M3? Wasn't Leica "close to death" in the 70s with the onslaught of the SLR (without the 'd')? Didn't Leica become irrelevant in the mid 2000s because everyone has gone digital? Leica may be gone by end of 2015, or may be it will surprise everyone again.
