Well, I've heard this same tale from other customers about Humanware. So this doesn't say a thing. It's just one opinion versus another. I hear that Humanware gouges you on prices. their Brailliant displays are more expensive than other vendors products. that's just an example. their resusal to send me a braille manual via free matter for the blind is another example. so you see, this line of discussion goes nowhere. It proves nothing. If you don't like a product, I wish you would give more concrete ideas so others can learn something. I see advantages in both units and that's a good thing I think. I traded my last Pac Mate because I saw something I wanted more. I am happy with that trade. the Pac Mate has instant messenger now. It can be used with a tty for the deaf-blind. the gps for the Pac Mate is a heck of a lot cheaper than for the Braillenote. the upgrades for the Pac mate are free!!!!!!! they're not cumulative either!!!!!!!! I think you get the point. Show merits for a product. As I said, I see good points in both products. Isaac
