There's "They" (GMB) and "They" (X-Rite) and a history of products being
discontinued prior to and after the merger so its useful to be clear here!

They (X-Rite) had two products that were apparently expensive to build, one
being IMHO a superior instrument that was discontinued and now, as one
company isn't leaving a hole in the product line (the DTP-94).

If you're going to bring up PLUSE, we should barf up iCColor, Spectrolino
scan, geeze, how about the Digital Swatchbook?

I'll point out, with probably the exception of the Swatchbook, all those
devices still work with the current software line (PULSE I'm not sure
about).

Yup, that's about the only tool "from them" we don't have. Well I still do

Absolutely and why I keep mine. In this case, "them" is different from
"them" (GMB versus X-Rite).

Of course they do (we all do). But that doesn't mean they have to announce
anything prior to release. And there is the crux of this silly post (The
silence is deafening). We have some impatient customers, fine. You think
bitching here is going to do anything about a product not ready to be
announced suddenly being announced? I doubt it. Its all just a lot of doggie
posturing.
