different in principle than Steve's SP500. Now here is another little quiz,
ready?
Let's see.
1. If they both cost the same, what do the engineers have to do to add all
those features?
Beyond my kenning.
2. My Graphic is worth 2x what it cost new 50 years ago. My MX are worth
about 1/2 what they cost new 25 years ago. The Olympus C-5050 digital I just
bought off ebay (should be here by the end of the week) is worth 1/4th what
it cost new 3 years ago. What is the meaning of all this?
Graphic: Niche/collectable
MX: Supply and demand (or lack thereof)
Oly: Commodity electronics (early version thereof, in particular;
sans voir I expect slow focusing and large shutter lag, plus huge
depreciation as the early adopters pain and the used buyers gain).
How bad is that?
