Sigh... If this is indeed the case, and confirmed to be the true end-of-line, now I'll have to look for a CNA628xxxx unit for the collection to bookend with my early 2006 unit (CNA634xxxx, Aug '06).

hi Bob, my source was the retailer, who are a respected official UK HP outlet. They told me, in Oct 2018:

We've still got around 16 of the final 150 HP50G left in Europe and they are selling quite quickly. HP Europe contacted us with an offer to buy the last 150pcs they had a few months ago. They're all sealed in retail pack.

I agree, I'd not have expected that detail from HP themselves.

I'm sorry to give you an excuse to search for another 50g to buy
