Sounds a bit harsh. A device cannot possibly become less useful with time than it was when you bought it (barring a HW malfunction). If it did then what it says on the tin it will still do it now, won't it? Without any new software... Functionality that did not exist or was not supported when you bought your device will not necessarily be backported to your device's original firmware or to the official updates thereof. This does not render the device useless, just potentially a bit less future-proof than others. [I cannot give a compelling example of such functionality, but I can imagine it might exist.] -- Oleg Goldshmidt | p...@goldshmidt.org _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
