Greetings, When I place an order for any product, braillewritter, clock, watch, Etc., I look out for what will be best for me, pricewise, quality, Etc. I try not to become involved in internal business practices. Why?, you might ask. Very simple, because then I'd probably never buy anything, because I'd spend my entire life exploring something which has little to do with me. As Mike said, there are many choices available to us. I think if more people, blind or sighted, searched around a little more for what they are in need of, they would be better off. Just my take on the subject, for better or worse. Best regards, Frank Casey
