I got a cute email in my inbox this morning from HP, announcing end-of-sale for the 2800 series switches. On the sidebar, it lists a few dates...
"Announcement Date": August 1, 2009 - The first day which product End Of Sale is announced. "Final Order Date": November 15, 2009 - or while supplies last - The last day on which order can be placed. "Final Shipment Date": November 30, 2009 - or while supplies last - The last day on which the product will be shipped. "End of Sale Date": December 1, 2009 - or while supplies last - The last day the product will be available. "End of Service Life": November 20, 2014 or 5 years after the respective End of Sale Date - The day all Service Obligations will end. I'm not terribly worried, ProCurves are nearly bulletproof, I love their switches, but that very last one makes me scratch my head with regards to their widely touted lifetime warranty.
