Hi, can't wait to see how  much the NBP PDA is going to cost. Especially since 
they keep saying it will be cheaper than most other braille devices. Bet it 
will be just as expensive.  They'll probably sell it for $4'999.00 so they can 
say it's under $5,000.00. Don't think it will be cheap.  That's why I like 
Apple, it costs the same for us as it does for everyone else and the adaptive 
software that we need is included.
