I think I will give it a few days first to see if my email to support gets
escalated. Yes. Competition is the key. I am afraid FS is moving toward
litigation rather than inovation. Actually, that is not entirely correct,
but it is a great line. I am just concerned over their new braille driver
signing stance, even though I am not a braille user.
