OOPS! I meant to say that if you bought 10.4, you can
download for free.

Hi Dale,
If you bought DBT WIN over 3 or more years ago, the
upgrade will cost you $295 USD or close to $385 Canadian at
today's exchange rate.
If you bought 10.4, then the cost will be $195 USD
or around $255 Canadian.
Hope this clarifies things a little.
George.

Well, nearly $600 USD is getting on for
$900.00 CDN. But I don't quite understand the pricing shown.
It looks like a SMA only applies if the product owned is
under a year old. I am sure I am wrong about that. I
remember though that the version I bought in January 2000,
10.3 I think was soon superseded and it seems to me that I
didn't upgrade then for a similar reason, the full cost for
a few tweaks and the Swift add-in. Quite reasonable I am
sure for a Braille production house but a little steep for
us on-the-fly disposable document users. It is in the range
of $400 a year. I remember when a pretty good typewriter
could be had for that.
Of course, I just bought a new Perkins
Brailler for $1,400. Mine needed service bad but I couldn't
afford to send it away until I had a replacement. In the end
the repair cost for one was $12.00 and the other $40, we
have three here now, two in constant use and now a third for
standby I suppose. My original machine was $125.00 back in
1969 and it came with a hard case. now that is a couple of
hundred extra.
This is less a complaint than a statement of
fact. I could have spent as much money keeping up with DBT
in the past four years as we have used on Perkins braillers
beginning with the first one my wife bought in about 1965.
Back then the RNIB had some sort of subsidy, I believe she
paid 15 quid.

Hi Dale,
I don't know where the $900 came
from (Which
currency?), but you will find
current American
Dollar prices at the following:-

I don't know how one can afford to
keep up. Having
just upgraded computers, jaws,
K1000, and another
Braille Printer, the Index Basic-D
which I will be
requiring assistance with soon,
can't get it
working right. They told me it would
cost nearly
nine hundred dollars to move from
10.3 to 10.4 in
April and now you say 10.5!
I would really like that Swift
utility function
though!
Do you know if 10.5 is handling
tables in
WordPerfect any better? A space
between columns
and a new line between rows?
I think my computers though are all
possessed with
gremlins.

Hi Caroline,
If it was March this year, then I
don't think you
have a problem. Just be ready for
an internet
download.
George.

George, I haven't exactly placed my
order for the
10.5 upgrade, but I'm entitled for a
free upgrade
if I understand correctly since I
purchased my
Duxbury originally in I believe
March. Is this
correct? Thanks. Looking forward
to the new
version!!!
Caroline
