[Leica] Perspective on Extended Warranties.......

[imagist3 at mac.com (Lottermoser George)]

Believe me Frank - I totally get the sticker shock aspect to this.

I'm an old fella who grew up imagining that he could earn a living,  
for the rest of his life, with a couple M's a Linhof, a few chunks  
of  well cared for glass, a fine drawing table with a good T square,  
some nice german pens, and few tanks and trays, with some tempered  
water in a smelly back room. It didn't work out that way.

7 computers, and dozen digital cameras, later - it's a new world here.

Fond regards,
George
