Hi, Sherry: I feel really bad that you want to leave the list. Your contributions have been great. You know, I don't believe anyone is really complaining about the upgrading to MPower. I believe the question actually was, could people be helped that couldn't afford anything different with the machines that may have their Braille displays removed? I may be a simple person; I don't believe anyone is wanting to hurt anyone.
