Lisa, Just because new hardware is here, doesn't mean anyone has to feel like they have to upgrade. You're doing well with what you have. why change it? I don't think I need wireless email now. maybe six or ten years from now I might. But not now. Just like there're people who continue to use windows 95 at this late date, why couldn't you continue to use your present hardware/software for years to come? companies continue to upgrade, doesn't mean we have to try to keep up! I have a powerbraille 40 for heavens sake! It works! I don't need a bluetooth braille display to do what I do now. this is a game of choice! You don't have to feel builty or pressured. That's all in the mind of the beholder! After all, there're 1979 automobiles on the road today! Anything wrong with that? Let's not feel overwhelmed just because something new just hit the market! It has to be tested and the bugs worked ut.... Isaac
