This is just going to bring around more of those wealthy friend people who buy a Mac to look cool with it. Then the losers put on Windhoze so they can run their favourite applications, which kind of kills the whole idea. Yeah. Yay for white LEDs.
This doesn't suprise me, but I really do not agree with choices like this one. Film cameras and full-manual are the only thing some photographers will use, as I know. As the others have posted, some people really like real photography. Sure, digital is convenient, and can be the way of the future, but I do not see that as what Nikon is after. This seems not to be about the future of photography, but just the future of the company. They want to convert every one, so users can purchase more. I've got a Nikon FE from 20 years ago, and it works wonderfully, with film. Your digital Nikon from a few years back probably is not cutting edge. Digital is still growing and evolving. It is not perfected. Like CD-ROM reading speeds, the number of mega pixels will eventually slow. That would be the best time to discontinue film products, because there wouldn't be short times between upgrades.
I have one of those keyboards... I really like them. Then I found this nifty 20-yea-old IBM keyboard which came with the commadore. Yay for buckling springs. I don't know if the feel of this keyboard makes things any better, but it sure is nifty.
It's always stories like this, that I like best. A blackhole or something is out there oscillating 86 octaves below a low E. The Sun makes a buzzing noise that sounds a lot like static as it expands and contracts slightly every day. Elephants make low noises, too... and today, we've discovered an iceberg vibrating one half a time per second. Usually I like science, but ya know, everything out there, even you, vibrates... do we need a story on it ?
I can't wait to pirate the iceberg's next album...

because we have that much extra money and energy in the dying world for such a waste
I was a hard-core fan, mostly because it worked well on my 8 year old machine.
I switched completely to Linux a bit ago, though.
I guess I'm too stupid, because I don't have Windows or a processor faster than ia32 400Mhz. :(

My name is on some medium again (DVD ?).
I hope they get this one right, because last time my name was on a CD, they messed up Metres/Miles.

Yeah, but how is that compared to 2003, or the years before ? If you don't compare those years, you're performing bad science/analysis.
