In one example I might put it like this... "Hey your favorite pet of 20 year is gone, sorry about that. But no worries, here's a new different pet. But we named it the same so you're all patched up now. Time to put a smile on and move along." I feel such an attitude disrespectful to some folks who have been our friends along time. Of course some don't and probably prefer more sentimental types leave. That is the "them +1" I refer to.
And and fear I've probably not made my point any clearer.

Question is, what are you going to do, have old Fido stuffed so he can sit in his corner for the rest of eternity? Oh, and no new dog(s), they would just remind you of Fido.
Back in the day, I remember a lot of screaming going on when C= brought out the A4000 and the Toaster guys were SOL. I also remember complaining about the new WB not working for anything below 020 (I had a 000 at 28MHz). I was clearly not happy when the Teron mobo rebadged as AmigaOne came out, I felt slighted that a dodgy rebadged mobo came out that was going to destroy the Amiga name. History repeats itself, now it's a new generation of Amigas. We have an adjustment coming up and depending on what COS turns out to be, might be easier to accept or more difficult, time will tell.
