I agree with Bill.
What I don't understand is why some of us are so personally attached
to the tools we are using.
It's *just* a tool. If it stops working, then worry about a
replacement. If it's not broke and it does what you need it to do,
then don't fix it.
It's like this, if you bought a craftsman hand saw, then Dewalt bought
the craftsman name and then discontinued the craftsman hand saw, would
you complain and go buy another one. You might if your pockets were
lined with money.
Some peoples comments have been so outrageously "Chicken Little".
Don't worry little grasshoppers, change is good. If change bothers
you then read or listen to "Who Moved my Cheese"

My daughter bought a pure-bred persian once (smushed nose). I told her
to blow up his butt to see if his nose would pop out, but sometimes
she has no sense of adventure. -- Some HATTer
