Technics 2012?

What’s the deal with not manufacturing Technics 1200 turntables anymore, in the near future?
I keep hearing more and more about it, and the more it seems ridiculous. These things been around longer than a half of forever, and even if they stopped, I think Technics will still get the love it always has, despite the movement in the new digital age. Technics will always be the father of your favorite bastard MP3 players. Even if they stop making them, these measley CDJ-canker-mouth-player-shapes will still pay its dues where its needed, and bow to its predecessor with an unforgiving jawdroopling crevice of a mouth.
Any which way, I’m a Vestax user, myself, so I don’t care. I just hope they make something great that my grandkids can piss on, and still be in top notch condition. Technics for prez!
