I think it can still be purchased places but I think it's discontinued
so it's hard to find or having to pay a premium for it. Not sure
though.

Would be nice if there was a law that said that if a product is
discontinued/not sold to the public after five years, it becomes
abandonware and anyone can use it, decompile it, and do whatever they
wish. That would certainly make sure companies made products available
or would result in a lot of happy people.
