It's a sad day for innovation when the most advanced commercial product is decommissioned before something is available to supersede it.

Well, it DID have almost 35 years to prove itself, which is a pretty remarkable marketing period. There was never enough business to warrent a successor.
Remember, reckless innovation without quality testing is what gave us Windows. Innovation isn't everything, sometimes you need intuition, too.


Uh?  Concorde had one accident, that was it.  Would you like to compare that to the Boeing (sp?) 7x7 record?
