They dumped production and support for the Netbook and lacked the forsight to carry on and devlop the product. In that sense, as a customer, I feel abandoned by the company. They have a right to a warm and cosy feeling if Netbook is used in the same sense as biro is used generically for ball-point pens etc, . The sitution is amusing, but has little moral justification.
