Hi Thomas, The one problem with this is money. In spite of the fact that the upgrades to the mPower are substantially cheaper than buying a brand-new unit, it's still around $2000 American. A lot of people simply don't and won't have that kind of money. This is why HW will be upgrading older BrailleNotes as much as possible. They want to leave none of their customers behind, not even the poorest of the poor, for whom obtaining a BrailleNote at all was a miracle.

That means, you send your BN in and get it as a BN mPower in return. It's only some hardware components and of course the KeySoft version that are replaced, but you can keep the Braille display you had before. This is why such an upgrade will not be that expensive as buying a new BN. So, if HumanWare provides this possibility, what sense would there be for continuing development of further subversions of KeySoft 6.1x? I mean, that's the best thing you can have!
