Yeah, just last week Sony sent me a PS3 because my PS2 is being phased out. And Nissan sent me a new car, because the 2005 model is just, well, dated.
It is very normal to have an upgrade path for software. It often costs a substantial sum, though, but it is usually around. How many personal electronic -hardware- products do you get to upgrade at a discount? Some places have trade-ins on things like PCs: they will buy your old one for a tiny fraction of what you paid for it and sell it to someone else. Some do that for things like AS/400's... I have never seen, say, JVC offer a new car stereo because they came out with a line that added MP3 reading to the CD's... Do you really believe any business could survive giving away not only their software but also their hardware? -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23641 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
