I sense I am getting flamed for some reason. I am not an apologist for
Agilent. In fact when I buy any substantial new equipment I insist on
getting full service manuals because of that very reason.

No. If the equipment makers have to sell newer equipment by making it
difficult for used equipment, instead of adding features and performance
to the newer equipment to make it sell itself, then they're just a bunch
of marketers and should be in the 'selling sugar water' business, as
Jobs once put it.

Unfortunately the restriction of documentation for obsolete
equipment


is


a profit motive by Agilent as it promotes the planned obsolescence
of
older equipment which competes with new equipment on the market.



That sounds like Marketing-Speak to me. You can put it where the sun
don't shine.
