Chase: i understand your impatience for the docking stattion, but i think you
jneed to realize things aren't always as simple as they seem. you're too young
to have had the business experience some of us on this list have had and you
don't realize the complexities that can occur which can delay things. For
instance, i do know there were things which happened that delayed the docking
station much longer than Mark would have liked. I saw the Icon 3 years ago at
the CSUN show, 2 years before it finally came on the market. Even then they
were planning for a docking station. levelstar is a small business, so things
just take time.
I truly believe there's more to it than just the plastic piece you mention. i
frankly believe an exgttended discussion where people will whine about the
docking station for the Braille plus not being available yet is unproductive
and will cause me and others to exercise the Delete key quite frequently.
please be patient.
