Its interesting in how you develop "relationship" with some of the tools you use to create. If my phone died today I would just get another one without a thought, same for my desktop or monitor.

But if my keyboard stopped working, or my laptop, I would actually stop and reminisce the things that we did together.

I think I've found a buyer, an older gentleman wanting to take pictures of birds in his backyard with a Rebel T1. He had to ask his son to make sure that the lens will work. That is the energy that I'm looking for my (maybe his soon) lens.
