Hi,
Got this over on the Blind Cool Tech list.  I think we should do something 
about this.  I 
don't like to see these products be complained about like this.

HI,

I know too well about Icon and Braille+ but guess what, the guys at
levelstar won't get off their collective arses and make them fcc 
compliant
for other countries so they just make them available to yanks and 
Canadians.
Shame as they are great little machines.  Don't dispute me on this as I 
have
the correspondence to prove that I am right.  As an Australian, I was 
hoping
to buy one of these machines but I couldn't because of the above reason.
Shame on Levelstar.
