One way is to trade off the M2 IMMEDIATELY followed by the dreaded M6 and Noctliux before the disease can get a foothold on your health and well being. I suspect it already has.... see the pallor in your face and in your bank account. Only people in whom "Money is of no concern" are immune to this disease, sadly most of the general population (and I suspect more than 75% of the LUG) are afflicted to lesser or greater extent and some will eventually succumb to the disease within their lifetimes. Yet those who are afflicted seem to harbour a certain pride in being so affected. They feel great. Their acquisitions gather momentum at the expense of time, money, marriage, work and what have you. Those who never have "any secrets with their wives" start to have secrets and guilt to hide. >PS-Enjoy that M2. It is the best of the M cameras. It is also the most severe strain of the disease. Some might call it a curse. In Transylvania, people are prepared to drive a spike through the heart of the camera to rid the curse from their lives. Dan K.
