Hi KC, oh my dander isn't up in the slightest, sometimes e-mail is a bit useless, as it can't convey emotion, and I have lots of e-mail to respond to so am sometimes in a hurry. My point here is that those who can hear are sometimes oral learners. So for those, we repackage the material in the Users Guide and demonstrate it with the speech on etc, in an effort to aid their learning. That's all the audio material is doing. We don't in any way provide information that is somehow excluded from any media a Deaf Blind person can access. So I'm just trying to emphasise as emphatically as I can that the audio material is an alternative means of accessing the same information that is already out there, right on board the BrailleNote. Hope this helps. Jonathan Mosen BrailleNote Product Marketing Manager HumanWare

Two deaf-blind consumers recently got the M-Power with the audio Cd-Rom. One called Humanware and was not told about any alternative format. (Frankly, it appears your gander is up, and I'm sorry to hearit! By that I mean I am puzzled as to why you made the comment implying I suggested discontinuing audio materials. All we are asking is for equal access to information, which, in this case, means information in alternative formats.)
