Hi Virgie, one thing we are looking at is an external battery pack for secondary use that will connect to the AC adaptor outlet. I can't give an estimate as to when this might be done right now but it is certainly under investigation.

Maybe it does not make sense to you but I think it would be a good option to have. I would be willing to pay for that privelege.

I suspect though that there is another reason why they are not removable. I don't think they are making any money doing it in fact I bet it is a pain. 95 per hour to have someone sit there and pull the units apart isn't cost effective at all. Since I have never opened the unit and looked inside I don't know however suspect that the redesign would cost more money course then we could all complain about that cost. I have had my units both of them for over three years and never replaced the batteries. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Isaac Obie Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 11:05 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Suggestions and questions Virgie, Trust me. It won't be offered because it's a money issue! do you think these companies will willingly give up money? come on. they're out there to gouge you to death like an angry bull with a matador chasing after him! It's more than the battery issue that needs attention.
