Jim, You are right that RFB&D are the ones holding back. I do not have personal knowledge of their talks with HW but I have seen them always be the last to jump on a new product. Most daisy book players out there today were released before being able to play RFB&D books because the players were ready and had been ready and they decided to stop waiting. While I like RFB&D, they do have many issues to conquer at the moment.

Hello all, I personally think the message should be sent to RFB and D not to Humanware! I think a standard will be set for these Daisy books whether RFB and D goes along with it or not. I for one want the new file advantages that 7.2 offers and if I do indeed have another SMA, I'm going to use it! I'd rather the M-power do a graceful job in handling these RFB and D files rather than do a lousy job of it. For now, I'll enjoy what Daisy books I can play till RFB and D books can be played! Sorry! I can't get on that band wagon!
