I agree. They make a product that pretty much anyone of us would climb over our own mothers to get our hands on this stuff and they discontinue it and then pull out of the market all together! I mean really... where's the logic?
Yeah, if they didn't discontinue their 180 nanometer BH-5, it would have widely proved itself by now, and everybody would try to get a stick that has a stricker that says "BH-5" in bold letters on it. They would have made big profit in the long run; BH-5 is still better than anything new. Discontinuing it for something that's worse makes no sense. I mean, where's the progress part? If you can't offer your customers the same thing anymore; at least come up with something better. Not the opposite... Well, I'm guessing they thought that someone else would come up with something better on a smaller process, so they raced with others to a 150 nanometer process.
