Yeah, hope for all of you, but I believe it was A-Dev who said that he thinks that eventually all ED´s are doomed.
Let´s hope for the best and just preserve him as good as it gets until someone comes up with a good, if not great exchange-part-plan...
A few of us have said this actually
Why do I believe it? Because for a few years my original ED seemed fine and I was looking at other people's on here and wondered WTF they were doing with them, how the hell could their's be disintegrating while mine was not. Eventually mine did start drying and cracking though, it just took longer. Matter of time.
