hello, if this sounds confrontational, i really do not mean it to be. jenny said in her message that the upgrade costs does or shall i say she does not think it applies to the braille plus users though i'm making the choice to spend my dollars elsewhere, i wonder why the braille users of this unit seem to lag behind everything having to do with this product, whether its the docking station, braille keyboard shortcuts and now the hard drive. we're always having to wait. -----Original Message----- From: icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chase Crispin Sent: Saturday, April 05, 2008 9:33 PM To: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: 40gb hd? Please correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know, LevelStar wants to keep the price the same, no matter how tiny or gigantic the hard drive is.

I'm not sure if this has been responded to yet (as I usually don't read all the stuff that comes in; there's too much of it) but I checked the website and the 40 GB HDD Icon still sells for $1,395. ---------------------------------------- > From: llumpkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: 40gb hd? > Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2008 15:35:49 -0500 > > Jenny, Do you know the cost of this to the customer?
