They told ME that they havent seen any for years. Or was that just sales?

WOAH! Thanx for coming to bat for me. You basically are hitting my nail on
the head here. I think that for its time, the PM 11 blew away ANYTHING.
AND to top it off, I HAVE discovered that they ARE upgradable WITH the
correct knowledge. Actually it was a customer of MINE who experimented
with the PM 11 and then bought some 2's.

Oh so you DO support the PM 11? Yes or No? Im confused now. What should I
tell people who call me about PM 11s? Your tech support department tells
me NO when I or others call them.
