Fascinating.

What was once the most cutting edge invention (and I recall the awed discussions and reviews which attended the launch of the iPod….) hip, cool, and incredibly sophisticated, has, within the time span of less than a decade, become obsolete……..and - while still used daily by some, admired by others, and recalled with reverence by yet others - has been discontinued, viewed as redundant to the commercial and marketing model Apple wishes to pursue…...

Well, it certainly puts things into perspective……..and sentiment (nor minority musical niche needs) clearly have no place in Apple's universe….
