Gary quoted Canon Inc as saying:

. . . "Your product was initially manufactured well over
7 years ago and it is impossible for any manufacturer to continue
producing
and maintaining parts for equipment beyond a 7-year period."

Strange: I have a 16 year old BMW which was discontinued several model
cycles ago. Now that it is getting on a bit I buy parts for it quite
frequently. :-( Why are car manufacturers able do this "impossible"
thing?
