    That’s their problem: their product is very good and very reliable, which means once everyone who wants one has one, there’s no more demand.

      People are born everyday. People break things.

      There’s no such thing as no more demand.

      it just shrinks to a fairly stable demand. Until something new happened then demand will track up. Or you can (honestly) update to a new model if you figure out some new improvement then also increase in demand.

      Just plan for it.

      I hate the mentality that infinite and perpetual growth is some how a sustainable or even rational goal

          Good news! I definitely thought of that before my comment. That is one of my all time favourites.

          I even referenced that comic Friday night when my friends were drunk and in an argument with each other because they were both being insecure and idiots to each other. I’m their relationship counselor apparently. I don’t know how I got the job and I’m not qualified…

      The jokes on them! I buy one for every friend who somehow doesn’t already have one. I also manage to kill one about every two years. My lifestyle is very challenging to technology.
