What have I done?

It must be nearly two years since I changed over to Nikon, I bought a D200 in place of my Pentax IstDs. It is after this much time I am starting to wonder if this was the wrong thing to do. I love simplicity above all else. I still have a Pentax film SLR, its a M10 or K10 or something? ? ? This old film SLR to me is the greatest design ever, it doesn't even have an on button. You can select to be in an aperture priority mode or bulb. I wish cameras could be made like this again, the Nikon has so much absolute crap in it that never gets used. But I believe Pentax DSLR's are the simplest ones on the market, their lenses are absolute top notch to. They pay attention to the little details other manufactures miss entirely. It may seem crazy but I am thinking of heading back in the Pentax direction. Its been so long since I posted here to.

I used to work with a guy who filled the bulb socket with araldite so you couldn't possibly make that mistake - ugly but effective
