Another way to not be disappointed is to not have any money for
purchases. Hence, I was not disappointed with the Leica M9.
That said, I am *very* disappointed I had to waste 15 minutes TODAY
reading about tomorrow's release:

What am I going to read tomorrow? The international news????
Pffff! Humbug!
Well, from my point of view the announcement never lives up to the hype,
and that's not just Pentax. I find I'm less disappointed by any
announcement if I make an effort to ignore the hype preceding it.
