I think it was around 1990 that there was a fad for P&S cameras that talked to you. I remember passing someone in a London street who's camera was nagging him in a high-pitched squawking voice that he only had one film frame left, or something like that. He looked embarrassed, holding it out at arms length as if to disown the thing.

Not as long as they would spend looking for it on a K1000. OTOH, the Olympus OM-1 had an On/Off switch like an apartment block circuit breaker.
