Would that car be the Tucker?

The only theory that I could come up with is that there simply is no
extended profit in selling a machine/system that works so well and for
so
long.  There is far more money to be made on machines/systems that
perpetually require upgrades, maintenance and support.

Somewhat like a car that *could* be manufactured to function far longer
than
todays average automobile life.  There's only limited profit in that.
It's
much more profitable to manufacture an automobile that has a limited
life
cycle in order to perpetuate future purchases.

Just my too sense :)
