Maybe they would rather sell the higher profit new iMacs and they knew that given a choice people would be buying the older iMacs in droves before they disappear? I know I will not be buying any more nanos, which is insane really. I would certainly buy another one when my current one dies. One exactly like it for the same price, even if the tech advances. I would do this for another 10 years probably. The form factor of the old one is right. It would be even more right if they did one thing: move the input jack. The form factor on the new one? Useless. I may just yet buy another one to stash away but... lithium batteries don't last forever. I wonder if I put it in a plastic bag in a refrigerator? ----- About 20 years ago Toshiba made a small blaster. It was $300. That was a lot then. Very small EXCELLENT SOUND. I was amazed. I loved that thing. Kept me company at work every day for months. Made my life a lot better. One day I forgot it on a job, went back and it was gone. I went back to where I bought it intending to buy 2 more. They stopped selling it. I would still be buying those things. Sort of like Frank Zappa. He once submitted a tape to a record company. They stamped "No Commercial Potential" on the return envelope. What executive looks back on that decision with utter regret. How many Frank Zappa albums sold in the next 40 years. Sometimes it take awhile for a good product to catch on.
