Hi Terry did ask us to discontinue the thread and I believe he is right to do so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Saqib" <Saqib@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi. Life is about the havs and the have nots. If you can afford such a thing then fine if not quit sniping at the cost. It's not going to come down. I have saved up and paid for my Tech equipment and screen reader and this is the best way to pay for things that you need. I've never span that line which tells the world that I'm VI and have no money to pay for equipment. If you want something bad enough then I'm sure you will find a way to save up your cash to buy the desired item. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,

So you're saying if some people can't afford it, no-one should have it?
Strange logic there.

All the best

Steve

Its a problem with most assistive tech but if we go at it like that
nothing will ever be developed. Worth remembering though that it does have an 18 cell Braille display and they aren't cheap and probably never will be.
