Hi Barry,
Well, to an extent, I agree with George, in that technical support on these
products has to be taken into consideration. However, the problem with that
is that those who don't need or want technical support, have to pay for it,
whether they do want it or not. On the other hand, if people don't get tech
support for free when they want it, then there is merry hell to pay on that
side too. So it is a difficult balancing act, but I still believe that
things are overpriced in the UK. You only have to compare the price of JAWS
in the US for example, to JAWS in Europe.
Anyway, I'll say no more on the subject, otherwise I really will be honest
<Smile>.
All the best
Steve

Steve, and all access tech vendors/retailers.
I realise it's a closely guarded secret but seriously how much is too much
with this stuff.
How far can the arm be put in?
Are people getting their arms in as much as we believe?
Sorry to pick on yourself mate but you're a very public figure and often as
not will be honest if if it's not what people want to hear.
Will the endless debates on email lists ever change this high-way robbery
that makes products only available to people who,
A. Con the system at some level.
BE. Get some establishment to pay for a product on their behalf, which
often involves some quick talking and quick wittedness on the users behalf.
C. Long hard saving, which not that many people seem to do anymore in our
credit debt riddled society.
This stuff is specialised and I get that, I think that anyone who's been
knocking about with this stuff for a while will admit it will cost more.
It's rubbish and unfair but there is allot more research and development,
(mostly on the software side than hardware), that goes on.
I'd just once like for this stuff to come up and some change to be executed
and something to come out of our debates on mailing lists rather than just
he usual, we're being ripped off and those pesky Americans are getting the
good deal again.
Much of which I agree with btw.
One suggestion I'd have for change is the same as they have in Canada.
Did you know you can actually get updated adaptive tech gear every couple of
years?
We're talking in your home stuff, stuff that you justify that helps you live
independently.
I don't want to get into the debate of what we have here that we'd probably
not wish to do without to have our tech stuff bought for us because that's
more into the VI Gen area.
Any thoughts?
