But NTE Electronics is/was not Microsoft. And when MS decides that they will no longer
support the product, it does not at all mean that the investment will become worthless.
Besides that, if you get 3 years use out of it and paid $200 (I don't know why you
would pay $300 when you can buy it for $100...), that's $67 per year. Don't know
about you but I get $67 a year worth of use from it. And since I've been using it
for 4 years already, that's already down to $50 per year. Most of the software that
I use I upgrade every few years shelling out a few more dollars each time, but I
don't have too, I could go back and use that old software anytime I want to. What's
stopping you from using your CAD software? No support? So what? That doesn't mean
it doesn't work.
Pretty much anything you buy these days does'nt last forever, and has a limited lifetime.
Are you still able to continue to use the meal you ate last night? That money's spent
and gone, and you now have little of value to show for it.
