Their claim that "some people just don't like change" is, frankly, pretty offensive when they have offered no explanation of why these particular choices were made.

+1. That's how I read it too--almost condescending. The fact that you need new computers, etc. is certainly understandable and probably well known to all. This is not the problem. There are at least 150 species of animals on this planet and probably some plants and minerals with more computer/techno knowledge than I and yet even I could find decent labeling software and a nice printer to address these so-called concerns. Several here have prepared mock-ups of superior labels with only hours or less of time to do so. I still have not seen an explanation as to how this label provides an extra line of text more than the last one. They removed their barcode, which is neither here nor there to me although it might be nice on the back for those with proper scanning abilities, yet their website still extolls as one of the virtues of their product the existence of this barcode. Then to basically shrug the whole thing off with the old "you can't please everybody" byline is exactly that---dismissive.

The folks on this board come from many walks of life, and several have had the opportunity to elicit sales pitches from advertisers and design folks on how to better improve the perception of their product or service. I wonder how many of us would accept this presentation and explanation as being even professional, much less something we would find attractive.
