I suppose it was my idea to discontinue the R8B? There was not enough
market, you fool.

I think what happened was that they pretty much sold one to everybody
who wanted one over the series' extremely long run.

As I recall it Drakes explanation of the discontinuation it wasn't so
much the
lack of demand but other issues.

I'll have to contact Bill Frost and ask him about that.


I'll bet I'm right about the cost of producing the R8B.

People would have paid more... as costs went up. The issue was that there
was not a big enough demand to pay for the costs of production runs,
redesign around changing parts, etc.
