Oh well, so dies an amazing product to be locked up behind a massively customer-unfriendly organization. I'd even rather it have been acquired by Google where it could end up being graveyarded, there at least it would, if it survived, have been more easily available. I consider it for practical purposes no less survived now than if Google had killed it. Is there anyone who could have acquired them that would have been a better custodian for such a great product?
