Huh. What an amazingly stupid act on the part of a manufacturer.
Without any warning you have obsoleted a product that you were selling
yesterday as front-line, and now you have dropped all support for it.
I can't think of *anything* that would piss off users more than what
you have just done. No wonder Dennis bailed out. I certainly would
have. Heck, even Microsoft provides a support period for legacy
products.

Something you have just killed. Looks like I will be looking for a new
system to use in my classes.

It would have to be *amazingly* good to get me to ever use your
products again.

Yeah, like anyone would touch them with a 10-foot pole at this point.
