>support vanished on a bunch of printers at the 32 to 64 bit transition
that was after the win16 to win32 transition when every single cutting edge tech Sony product I owned, many of them quite expensive (and designed for win98/winME because that was cutting edge), stopped working. I've never bought anything Sony since, and no regrets.
Some time later, Sony Pictures wanted something from me and I said, "I boycott Sony" and they said "we're a different company" and I said "change your trademark then, that's the whole point of trademark, reputation"
