Hi Janel, I have no regrets about the mPower. When a new unit is released, there will always be some issues; hopefully, they will be resolved. I take a long view of these things, and given the developments projected over the next several years, eventually, the mPower will have support for many features that the classics cannot support due to hardware limitations. Of course, it's a personal decision, but in my humble opinion, it's worth the upgrade if you can affordit and can put up with some short-term issues. Best Regards,
Les -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Janel Griffin Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 8:39 PM To: Braillenote List; Richard Hutcheson Subject: Re: [Braillenote] MPower issues Hi, I have a quick question for those of you that have upgraded from the Classic to the MPower. Do you wish that you would have stuck with the Classic? I am reading about so many issues. If I could afford it, I was really thinking about buying myself an MPower one day, but listening to all of those issues, really makes me think.
