What about humanware with the transplant from BrailleNote classic to mPower?
What about the trade-in plan FS had to get HW users to get pacmates?
Not many companies offer upgrade paths, but some do.

I don't know of many companies who provide an upgrade path to their latest
hardware.
Would you really expect HP to give you an upgrade path to their latest
computer, or Apple to give you a big rebate for turning in your old IPOD to
get the latest model?
Well, that is the way it is with technology hardware, and it isn't fair to
expect APH to be any different to any other company. I realize that buying
new hardware is expensive, but it costs the company money to make the
hardware, and develope the software and hardware for the new device. The
people who work for those companies deserve a salery too, and a company
can't pay saleries if they aren't making money.
