Something seems a little strange with GRE's recent problems. Usually when a product is discontinued, the price is reduced to clear out stock. But with GRE's products, at least some of their scanners, the price is increasing. This would seem to indicate that there is a demand for GRE scanners. I really believe that GRE is done marketing their scanners but I also wouldn't be surprised to see their brand name bought by another smaller manufacturer. They may be in negotiations at this time and that is the reason for their official silence regarding their future. I sincerely hope this is the case.
