Steve,

No way. Not a chance. Our product lines run at least 15-20 years as far as we know (BS1 sales are still strong!), so the SX is still young in the scope of our lineup. We don't cast off products and customers easily, especially ones that make up a substantial portion of our revenue. Some products, especially books, take a long time to produce if they're properly designed and written. Even hardware production is a big commitment. A year can pass between product idea and smooth production. 

Andy just released another BASIC Stamp book (Smart Sensors) and the Propeller is still young. This business is our hobby, too. Every piece of it is important to us and our customers. 

I wish I could post Jon W's and John K's work right here for you to see, because it's really good so far. Just before visiting the forum I was reading our Editor's first draft of Jon's Practical SX/B book, and wow. . . it's clear and easy to follow! Jon did something that's normally quite difficult for him in this book. He brought the reader up to speed with very simple examples.
