Production has ceased.
Orders no longer accepted for new machines after October 1.  Product
support promised till at least Sept. 31 '07.  

It is an old machine, so maybe it is about time.  But still, the Fuels
cost more than O2s ever did.  Fuels look an awefull lot like an Octane
except with a faster CPU (but only one), and thankfully they  don't
offer them without texturing (meaning that in a few years when they
are dirt cheap, we won't be repeating the SI, SSI, SE, SSE
annoyances).

Still, they are darn expensive since base O2s originally cost
something like $6k.
