Tlr Twin Lens

I just bought a TLR. Should I take it back??
I just bought a TWIN LENS REFLEX camera for $150. It was kinda a impluse buy. Its something that I have wanted but I dont really need. I am a photo student but i have moved into digital. So what does everyone think keep it or return it?
I would probably keep it. In this fast pace digital world there is the drive to do things quicker and computer controlled. There are times when I find a return to the old ways a very centering experience. The lack of motor drive and program modes, TTL metering and all of the bells and whistles forces you to slow down and really think about what you want to photograph. With 120 film you get 12 shots.
I try to test myself every few years to see if I can make only one frame of each situation I find. I have to manually prepare the camera, set the shutter, focus and wait. I find it a great way to get my perspective re-tuned to the endless possibilities that present themselves to a photographer.
If you don't "need" the money for something more pressing, the camera doesn't take up too much room. The real down side is that in the very near future finding film and chemistry to process the images is going to be hard to find or too expensive to fool with. I guess in the long run that is something you will have to decide if it's worth the trouble.
