One thing to keep in mind is that FEI is very largely a defense contractor, so their customers, marketing, and motivation are a bit different than the typical business-to-business model.

Good points made - no income for the company, However on the other side of
the coin - look at Agilient having available all of the old HP manuals for
download even though there is no income to them.  I wonder if it was a
requirement of them to supply HP manuals when they absorbed HP.

I just purchased a new HP Pavilion laptop and was surprised to see that you
can download a service manual from HP with part numbers and it has
disassembly instructions - don't know of any other mfgs that do that.  Of
course HP computer company does not have any connection with the original HP
- or do they...
