I completely disagree. I learned, when my 280c broke down and wasn't fixable,
that something can be done with persistence and massive appeals. This list is
one way of <possibly> getting something into Apple's ear. If we don't speak
we'll never be heard, if we do we just might. What's better - no chance at
all or at least a slim one ? I for one would love to see Apple bring out a
successor to the 2400.
If someone has an idea where to tell Apple (Product Development or Mr. Jobs
or...) of our longing for a 2400v2 and actually every lister would write it
may make an impression, if only a smallish one.
Don't you see, jpm, a NO we have already.
