More likely learned it from Apple I'd wagerThis whole issue paints a picture of incredible corporate greed and a placing their profit margin above the good of society. John Deere is not a company I wish to support by purchasing any of their equipment. I think that have been taking lessons on how to run a business from Monsanto.
Though wherever it started I'm not a fan of forced obsolescence - or having to ask permission to fix my own stuff.
