LOL, that was an interesting read. Thanks formica, I love a nice rant too. Something tells me that (to paraphrase the words of the character from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail") Polaroid's "not dead yet"

it would be great if polaroid would manufacture another top class beast, real quality like the 195 or 680 -i just wonder exactly how expensive they would be, i mean (and i could be wrong here) you look back at the original prices and they seemed to be a few hundred dollars even in the 80's -which (and again might be way off the mark) would be close to $1000 now?

great stuff though!
