Check my avatar Jerry...I'm as grown up as I'm going to get.
O yeah? Just so happens that since this thing started I've grown old as the hills, shot right past you if I ever was behind, so I can talk. My hair's fallen out, or the rest of it; teeth wobble back and forth at the touch of a tongue (anybody's); eyesight tobogganing & one lid starting to droop plus something has washed the recall of a long list of proper names right out of my head. That's just some of the things, ones I can remember at the moment. Improper-type words now starting to go. Thought a dictionary would help but how do you look up words you've completely forgotten?! Unless maybe there's one where the definitions come first, bet there isn't one though.
Do I blame anyone or anything for catalyzing this decline? Nope, not me. Latest developments have finally made it really too hard though, is my problem. I could grasp it when there was just one camera that never managed to appear. Now we have three cameras, which we also don't have. Will the new ones appear? Some say Yes, some No. Will the old one show up? Same thing!
There's more: once, for example, the promise of Metabones' SpeedBooster made the teeny-cam at least worth thinking about (for choosy persons) but now the MFT versions have been delayed, maybe by a lot, and the EF-EF by much more than a lot, maybe even like forever, nobody seems to know.
Recurring vision: it is all sinking back into the ooze, these glittering mesmerizing gizmos, the wires into Chile's copper pits, the sensor & processor back to a wave-pulverized chaos of seaweed-choked beach, the artfully molded plastic devolved into stinking crude oil. In their stead the angry fragmented rabble we've come to be -- I'm remembering the shipping thread here -- seasoned pros vs amateur Artists; company butt-kissers against the Commies; grown-ups/whiners & crybabies; Scandinavia/EU Europe; Europe vs USA; heartland vs The Cities, everyone against the gnomes of B & H and not least, surely the greatest victims of all, the MFT crowd who gave up early positions in the EF line to pursue the impossible dream, their cries rend an indifferent sky. Rude against polite. The stoopid against everyone. Why no t-bolt in better PC chipsets? I'll b alright Marc thank u & goodnite.
PS: What's this Marc-with-a-"c" thing? Are there French people in Texas?
