Yeah, Jack, my gryphon would have gone with my truck too, if I'd known. If I were in Edge's shoes, with this tough economy, I'd do the same thing, probably. It only makes sense to lock out old products in order that customers have to upgrade the hardware when we upgrade our trucks. I'm sure they've done the math and figured it's a good financial business move overall from their perspective, but just another example of a little guy consumer - trying to get by - getting passed over. I don't know how many sales for new CS and CTS would be removed by upgrading the older ones that are out there, but they must have deemed it to be signifigant. From a business standpoint I get it. From the standpoint of one of a few of us that held onto our Gryphons, it does suck though.
Guess I'll be gettin a new CS from PHP when I can sell my Gryphon.
Regards,
Darin
