I don't know of any, but I suppose there may be a few geeks out there who are
more interested in buying a newer version of the same thing than in going out
and taking pictures.

Cars wear out; software does not. And cars can take several decades to wear

Not even remotely. Also, it is dangerous to assume that all programs _can_ be

no way to get around that. If the application you need for your business is
among them, you're dead in the water.
