[infotech] Re: Feature Idea for the Si Recognizer and other Si programs

But has anybody actually *asked* for their money back, now, on account of 
this?  I rather doubt it.  (they had that opportunity - what was it? - in 
the first month of their purchase?  the goalposts change, you see, once 
you've actually made that kind of investment in a device.  Grounds for 
re-selling it etc., would have to be to do with the device not performing as 
advertised.  The brailleNote also underwent a transplant over a period of 
time that lasted a bit, oh, maybe a year or more.  So, presumably, people 
will have quite some time before they have to trade up.  A year is short, 
but PDA technology... well, it changes quickly.  they did get a software 
upgrade or two on to it, I believe.  However, no doubt some people are 
feeling the heat.   'Early Adopters' are almost always 'guinea pigs'!  The 
NFB-US, though, is pretty good over the pond at getting people to cough up 
their money!

hi that still doesn't stop software upgrades, that's rediculous
aure i agree on a mobile for OCR great but why charge 2500 quid for
something which is out of date in a year. that's the thing no one says
anything about it yet people are upset when they are no longer supported
i'd have asked for money back if i'd put into a device that was no
longer supported it's only been out a year?
