My only take on this that springs to mind is why should
you expect a
computer company to continue supporting older hardware and software beyond a
certain timeframe unless they explicitly say their current product is 100%
compatible with their 10/15/20 year old product? It's almost like expecting
a car manufacturer to still support manual wind-down windows and non-central
locking because you happen to like manual windows and door locks you can
activate individually.
Well I still like them! As a passenger about half the time I never can
exit since the car I am
in figures I don't need to exit. Manual windows are still a must if you
don't have A/C,.
Surely everything forces you to move on at a certain
point in time, the only
reason it should be an issue is if the company concerned decides to charge
an arm and a leg to migrate to newer product or uses unreasonable tactics.
No names mentioned there.
Hang on, one of my Edison bulbs has burnt out, I'll be back in an hour when
I've changed it :)
So ALL OF NEW YORK CITY goes dark while you replace it.
Also, VW will be out next week to fit solid tyres to
my 3
year old car because I prefer solid tyres. I've always felt they ran better
than these new-fangled pneumatic ones.
I like blue-green model T's the best.
