Hi Kathy and list,
Everybody has the option of selling their Braillenote to an individual or
trading it in to Humanware and transplanting their braille display.
There are people who cannot come up with the $6295.00 in order to purchase
the M Power with the new braille display.
Humanware could just stop letting people trade in their old braille display
and then many of them could not afford to buy the M Power.
I think it is a good option for a lot of people.
As you probably know, Rehab is not purchasing equipment as readily as they
use to do.
Just my thoughts, for what they are worth.

So then what you folks are saying who are taking advantage of the
Transplant offer is that it is worth $2000 to you to get a new plastic
case, system board, and software upgrade put onto your old, used Braille
display and have a used mPower from the start. You're not concerned that
you won't be able to sell in a competitive market with all mPowers because
buyers won't have any way to know what they are buying regarding the most
expensive component, the display. And you don't care that you are tossing
out a perfectly good and functional voicenote at the same time which could
be used by someone else or at the very least parted out to help those less
fortunate than yourself to upgrade to a better unit. This still looks
like a lose win situation to me where the winners are at Humanware, but I
guess I'm still missing something since by virtue of my not participating
in this deal, I'm apparently not a "loyal customer" worthy of "reward".
