Of course, skipping the odd hardware or generation, or two, is not a bad strategy if you need to save precious time and money, by not systems that are still coping well enough.

A simple survival strategy for those who use and buy iT but a portent of doom for those who make, sell and run iT. However, when the flow of new sales dries up, iT vendors have a powerful tool in their armoury – they can stimulate their turgid streams by setting a ‘’ date: withdrawing for older products, squeezing their of customers into spending money in hard times. :twisted:
