Why should parking be easy or cheap in urban Cambridge? (For those unaware, MIT is just a short bridge across a river from Boston.) You should take the subway (metro) or bus. There are many non-driving options for the able-bodied.

Are you willing to pay for the true cost of maintaining these devices for ~50 years? The original price might have been 600 USD. I think the answer is regulation. Another idea: Sell the IP to a separate company who will support the legacy product for a fee. The original product will tell you how many years support is included (not lifetime). Later, there may be monthly charges. I doubt you will like that idea, but it is more honest. Germany has similar rules about car parts. Car manufs are required to make replacement parts available for X years after a car is manuf'd.
