Hi Graham, and everyone else.
We still have a few in stock, so if you are in the UK, you can still buy
them. We can also change keypadss etc.
All the best
Steve

The problem is that mine is really on its last legs. I already had it
overhauled but half the buttons don't respond now. Reading this list, I
think many others are in the same position.
What Really pisses me off about Spronger is that we went through all this
business of whether they new version wqas to be produced or not and why they
had not communicated with us several times now. I was giving them the
benefit of the doubt but this reallis the last straw. They seem to have
adopted a very hard nosed attitude to this customer base.
Anyway, as I say, I have moved on. I am looking at the vistor stream,
although I don't like the voice, and I am now going to take a look at this
Talks DAISY version. Talks software is a bit costly. I assume I will have
to buy an entirely new license rather than an upgrade?

Just because the new version has been scrapped, surely that doesn't mean our
present BookCouriers will not continue to be supported. Does Springer own
this list? Even if they do, couldn't someone else take it over?

Thanks Bud. I guess it is finally time for us all to move on. Before we
all scatter to the four winds, I wonder if it would be a good idea to start
a new maling list (I assume Spronger will close this one down without
warning). We clearly all have a great deal in common and will all be on the
lookout for a reploacement technology. I sanybody up for this?

I had sent a couple of email messages to Springer Design asking about the
timing of availability of the new BookCourier. Since I had gotten no
response to my emails, I decided to call them directly. Surprise of
surprises, somebody actually answered the phone. I very politely asked
about the plans for the release of the new BookCourier. The response to my
query was "the new Bookcourier has been discontinued." I asked if anything
had been put on the BookCourier list to that effect, suspecting that I had
just missed the announcement. "No, that hasn't been done yet," was the
reply. "Somebody will put a message out as soon as we can. We are pretty
busy around here working on something that's actually making us some money."
I have no objection to a company working on things that make money. Unless
the company is being funded by a philanthropic source, they have to make
money so they can pay their employees and invest in the future of the
company. However, I do object to the fact that the company couldn't take
the ten minutes necessary to publicly tell those of us who have been waiting
for the new Currier that there wasn't going to be any. Now, we in waiting
can go on to buy a competitive product on the market. It doesn't seem to be
asking too much that the potential customers for the new BookCourier be
notified by the company that plans for the new Bookcourier have been
scrapped.
