the size of the respective markets is irrelevant. it is all about REPUTATION. keysight have managed to significantly damage their own reputation, something would take a great many years to repair. not that i expect them to attempt to make any such repairs. more likely keysight will move on to different market segments - perhaps healthcare products, or battery chargers.

In point of fact, I doubt that the hobbyist market is trivial; yes the individual purchases may be tiny, but how many hobbyists do you think there are for every blue-chip company that places multi-million dollar orders?

are we gonna start a new keysigh thread there is already one going for a long time and many pages of this and that
is this new thread relevant, or a new rant once again ? a never ending variation on the same subject ?

I hope not! I didn't realise the depth of history on this when I posted, "for information," basically. The discussion seems to have hit a round robin anyway and Keysight isn't going to change, so I do hope this thread dies :-)
