[Leica] RIP, my newspaper

[Jim Nichols]

Jim,

I read it each week, and I would agree that it has been rather thin 
lately.  However, some of those were special issues.  Time and Forbes 
are enough to keep me busy during the time I have available for 
reading.  I get most of my current news from the internet.
