Hi Ted.  I hope they do up the pixels, and with this first release.  I 
was told that the plan is to make the unit upgradeable with newer 
sensors.  Good plan - but they gotta get folk on board first.  I may 
have to invoke my mantra - "I wont take up digital until it's better, 
cheaper and more convenient than film."  It's worked so far.  I haven't 
lost a single Dollar to Digital Depreciation.  The D3 phenomenon.

What's the prediction?  What will Leica R gear be worth in 40 or 50 
years?  Or more.  Will it be like that MP we saw on 'that place'?

Rick.
