And that is exactly the opposite of what I was saying! As an example I said
that some people have bought the D60 although they knew it has several
shortcomings. The "shortcomings" did not appear AFTER a new model came out
but they were known AT THE TIME when the person has bought it. In that case
an upgrade to a newer model might make sense.

Now you are talking about upgrading to a higher level, not upgrading within
the same level due to new functionality. That's a whole different story.
And no, depending on the price difference and the additional features I
might not buy the 1v over the 1n. I just bought a Harman Kardon 520 although
I could have gotten a Harman Kardon 8000 for a great price. I can't use the
additional features so why pay more if something cheaper gives me all I
need?

As a matter of fact, my next car probably will be either a used one or a new
hybrid car (because there aren't too many used hybrids).

Yep, that's a good example to make my point. Computers get outdated much
sooner because they are such multi-purpose devices. You can use them for
office applications, for gaming, for web surfing, for editing pictures and
videos, archiving your ripped CDs and feed the music to your stereo,
listening to foreign radio stations, control appliances in your house, etc,
etc.
In contrast TVs, CD payers, cars etc are used for just one thing which is
why people don't just buy a new TV, CD player, car, etc whenever a new model
comes out.
By the way, a cell phone (not the corded/cordless ones) are a bit a
different story as they become multi-function devices like computers.
Anyway, end of discussion for me here. I made my point and you and others
quite likely have a different opinion. So be it.
