As Paul Boyer has noted, after 25 years the 4004 is not listed in the new price list.

That's too bad. Sales must be declining, I can't think of any other reason.

Quoting Ben Hall over at the Rick Resource Forum:

"The 4004 is just on hiatus for a short time. We have some adjustments to make to it. Yes, the HB's will stay."

I remember when the Cii/5 was "put on hiatus" and never came back. OTOH maybe they'll bring it back now with those new trapezoid pickups.

That would kill it off for good.
