Hmmm... FS bought by Vecter...
Wonder what that means for users of FS products.
Supply and demand, will send the prices up for sure.

Subject: [blind-philly-comp] Freedom Scientific and Optelec Merge
For some reason, I'm unable to foward the press release I just received/not sure
what's going on with my Verizon account using my iPhone but this is a
low-priority item at the moment.
Essentially, FS and Optelec are merging into one company, something I would
never have expected. Optelec is known for its video magnifiers, as is Freedom
Scientific, and so I'm not quite sure how FS benefits. However, the press
release notes that both companies were bought by a company called Vector Capital
based in San Fransisco and so I'm wondering if this was a decision from the
parent company. I'm sure the press release is on Freedom Scientific's site.
