hi jacky yes i also do realise people have to make a living and to be real
truthful we are in such a small market. whatever anyone says i have loved my
old u 2 mini out of date th\gh it may be but for just getting it out and doing
something like every-mail or putting down something in the word procesor is
second to none. i do see though like dean says to be something is a real help
and also now a lot of dealers are giving you the option to purchase over a
longer period. i think jaws prices have really come down and if you go to the
sight village the up grades are very very good indeed. be interesting to see
the podcasts on it.

Hi John et al
The reality is that unless something like Orbit Reader really gets going, we
are always going to see four-figure prices on displays from the likes of
HumanWare, VFO Group and Hims. I don't like it but that's the market
unfortunately, and I like Braille too much to live without it.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

good point that is one reason if spending a lot of cash you need to see what
you buy. i always find it so busy though but again it's a good point about
looking at something before you committ. wonder if you saw the new braille
display from himms but, again is it about 2 thousand pounds or something
like.

One of the reasons I actually went was because of the cost of the
chance I get to get my hands on a device, even if it is in a noisy
environment and try things out. Sometimes I also find things I didn't know I
wanted to see just by chance.
