Wow. I guess it makes sense, its a lot of work to run a small business like that, and these kinds of products can be hard to support too. I wish them all the best!

That's a bummer. Can't say I really blame them though, given the conditions they described.

Personally, I think they just want to focus on the families and retiring, which... theres nothing wrong with that!

It will be interesting to see if anyone tries to replace some of the products... or... clones them.

Sad. A little bit related, did anyone else notice that Pick-n-Payless here in Sydney closed down earlier in the year? (I just found out recently when searching for some parts.)
