Hi Sarah, Well-stated. I have a good job, and coming up with over $6000 isn't exactly pocket change. I hope HumanWare understands that most of us really appreciate the ability to stay current and that we understand that they appreciate the initial investment that was made in the BN product. Best Regards,

Okay, First of all, there is nothing wrong with my old braille display. Its in wonderful condition and it works. It might not be the newest, coolest thing out there, but that's fine because the most important part is the brand new M Power that I'm getting and if I ever chose to sell it, which will be over my dead body, then the person buying it will get an m power and be happy that he/she has a note taker of their own. As for what they're doing with the old parts, they're recycling them to fix other units, but even if they were going to take them out back, build a bond fire, and roast hot dogs over them, they can do that too. I couldn't' care less. I'm just grateful that Human Ware actually cares about the customer enough to offer us this transplant. They didn't have to do this. They could have made us shell out $6200 plus what ever we'd have to pay for new Spanish software and new GPS software. I'm just glad they cared enough to offer this transplant because if they didn't then I couldn't get one. Even if you have a nice job, $6200 is a lot of money and I certainly don't have it under my couch cushions. So thanks guys for allowing me the chance to purchase an M power. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kathy Seven Williams Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 9:58 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] What's The Purpose of Transplanting? 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". ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
