"The project is not aborted."

Kinda like a person in an unwakeable coma is not officially dead?

Be still my heart.

Are you discussing nuances in a Japanese to Chinese to English translation (partially made by RiceHigh)? You don't even know if those words were actually used!

That's not how I read it. More like a double confirmation or tautology: we are working on it, it is happening, the concept is not dead, we haven't forgotten it.

Kind of like how a politician wants to get a simple message emphasised.

So, is the glass half full, or is it half empty?

**Ash** · 08-07-2013, 02:07 PM

The glass is not broken.

No, they're still holding weekly meetings, sparsely attended, on whether or not to purchase a glass.

They should use the glass they already have. FA Ltds.

A half full or half empty glass would indicate that at least SOMETHING is present in the glass. In relation to Pentax FF, the glass is currently completely empty.

Don't worry, you still have some time to save money for the big purchase

Yes, but need a plan.

Should I save $500 a month, $250 a month, $100 a month, $50 a month or $10 a month?

My plan at present is to avoid trying out any of the Nikon product. I have seen Tuco's results with the D600 and it is mighty tempting to abandon Pentax (except for film) when/if my K10D dies.
