[Leica] M8: To buy or not to buy. . .

[rclompus at mac.com (Richard Clompus)]

Ted, as well said as I've ever heard.  Somehow you find the money,  
buy it and never look back.  Somehow my wife always gets over it.   
After I explained to her yesterday that Leica finally came out with a  
decent digital camera and I'm getting ready to justify it as best I  
can, she goes off and says, "well, did you order it yet?"  Gotta love  
her.  After 30 years of marriage, she knows me all to well.
