LOVE my Olympus E620, in fact.

My "old" SLR was a Minolta 5000i and, to paraphrase my late Dad, it took "right purdy" photos. Nothing could beat it for concert photography. In many ways I still miss using it, but but got tired of dealing with film. Besides, trying to track down high-speed film that was worth a flip became almost impossible. Hence the transition (a year ago, mind you) to digital.

This all makes me wonder if the Kindle vs Nook crowds are bickering. Personally, I love my new Kindle, but my sister wants a Nook. Do I care? No. Did we argue over it at Christmas when I opened my present and found a Kindle inside of it? (my sons chipped in and got me one) No. They're both e-readers that are good at what they do -- just different platforms.

Like Android vs Apple vs Windows tablets/phones, etc. I've actually witnessed heated arguments over which is better. How silly can you get? More importantly, who gives a flying fuck?

I have a Nook Color. I love it. Of course I rooted that sucker about 5 minutes after it arrived...lmao. I was respectful enough to look at the software it shipped with. For about a minute...lol.

Right now, it's all Android (Gingerbread). Where else was I gonna get a tablet for 129 bucks and free shipping? LOL

edit: btw, I think there's a CM7 mod for the Kindle Fire as well :P LOL
