This is an obscene waste. Not a unique example by any means though, and does
not come as a surprize.
It would perhaps be a good idea for as many people as possible to write to
Oly-USA and Japan and beg them not to allow such a thing to happen again.
Cheers,
Lee

"But the really, really infuriating thing is to hear that Oly/America
decided to literally dump/destroy a dumpster-load of new parts for older
models when they moved to their new facility several months ago.
Several years ago, they at least sent out a list of parts they were
preparing to "de-list", offering us one last chance to buy before they
dumped them. I'm sure they made a bundle off that deal -- why they
didn't at least _try_ to sell what they could, and then perhaps find
someone to take the rest in one lot (hey, $5k-10k or so in the pocket is
better than having to _pay_ the dumpster company to haul them away!)
boggles the mind!"
