My point is, when you have a proven widget that you can sell to 10
million people and develop a Widget that sells for 10x the $$ to 1000
people, it's silly to drop the widget to exclusively sell the Widget.

So why isn't Ford still selling new model Ts?

(Mysteriously, you're arguing against yourself, as well as comparing
apples and whisk brooms.) They're not making Model Ts because they're
making about 50 other vehicles instead, some of which cost, (in 2005
dollars) less than the Model T did. (A model T cost more than [113%]
a year's wage...you can buy a 2005 Ford Focus [with a 100,000 mile
warranty!] for less than half [41%] of an average annual wage.) So
let's see, instead of making one good vehicle in one color, they're
making (for the sake of argument) 50 vehicles in 50 colors and at the
same time appealing to a greater volume of the population. You do the
math.

Maybe some executives are sick of seeing there company's good name
trashed in this form and others, when the motor shaft brakes
repeatedly and the engineers cant seem to find a inexpensive solution.


Huh? What does Teknatool's engineering problems and their success or
failure at finding a solution have to do with discontinuing a proven
product line at a lower price point?

You clearly have an axe to grind with people who aren't satisfied with
a defective product and have the audacity to complain about it. (Or is
your axe with Teknatool for having fragile motor shafts??) That's
neither here nor there and wasn't the point of the discussion. (And
why do you continue to argue both sides of the issue?)

I'm not sure you get my point, and I certainly don't get yours.
