Not long ago in Boston, at a large art supply store, I discovered that
the Holga and it's sibling Lomo Colorsplash are now THE hottest item for
a certain age group--college age art students.  There was a large
display set up near one of the checkouts.  I had never seen them and
spent some time playing with one, and asked the sales assistant about
it.  She explained that they were selling like hotcakes.  I gather that
these cameras are designed to produce special "artsy" effects straight
out of the box.  

Then, one of my daughters put it on her Christmas wish list!
