Kevin,
Even though you purchase an SMA after 8.0,
you'll still get two upgrade. If you payed
for only the current software version, not
the SMA, you'll only get the current
software.

Tara,
The one downfall of SMA is that they are only
money efficient if it is
purchased prior to the next upgrade. For
example, if you purchase an SMA
prior to KeySoft 8.0, then it will count for
that upgrade including the one
after that. But, if you purchase a SMA after
KeySoft 8.0 is released, then
you will being paying for an SMA that will be
only effective for one
upgrade.

Tara,
An SMA allows you to receive 2 new software
upgrades for a price of one.
If
you buy an SMA before 8.0 is released, then
one of the SMA is going to be
8.0, and the remaining SMA couhnt will be
used for an upgrade after 8.0.
If
you buy it after 8.0 is released, then
you'll get next two upgrades.

Please don't.
Can someone please tell me the benefits of
purchasing SMA for the BN? You
said before build 8 comes, what if someone
buys after 8 has already come?
I
am sorry if I should know.

Well, as for giving things up to purchase
this equipment, you should
maybe consider the fact that some, including
myself already do. I
have just purchased a new computer because
the old one had too many
problems and it was purchased by Voc Rehab.
I AM saving to be able to
get the sma for the BN before 8.0 comes out.
I AM saving for the upgrade
to the screenreader.
I AM saving for financial software that is
accessible because I am
going to have to give up the printed way. I
AM saving for a new
mattress because the one I have is showing
signs of breaking down.
And add to that, I do not have a job. I am
sick and tired of people
saying "where there is a will, there is a
way" when they have NO idea
what they are talking about.
I apologize to the rest of the list that do
not feel this way. This
message just really, really, ticked me off
because this person has no
right to judge others. I know there are
people that do have the money
or could save the money that don't.
However, these comments should
not be sent to a public list. There are
many people on this list that
do save to buy things and they would
purchase more things on their own
if the prices of adaptive tech were lower.
Adaptive tech has a very
small market and the prices will tend to be
higher as a result of
lower demand.
This topic has totally strayed from positive
or helpful comments
regarding HW products so I will no longer
post regarding this subject
and may in fact consider unsubscribing.

Hi Everyone;
It also might take up to much memory. I
love the idea of having a
dictionary that I can finally look up
something on my own. I will not
have to ask what a word means or how to
spell something any more.
I am actually glad that it is on a card so
it will not clutter up your
machine and it can be an option.
Those out there who are saying you can not
afford to buy it, first of
all, just because an agency bought your
machine, does not limit you
from upgrading it yourself. If you really
want that dictionary, bring
your lunch for a few months and see how much
you can save, or give up
something else.
My theory is;
Where there is a will,
There is a way.
Most likely I am going to treat myself to
one for Christmas.
CAP bought my original machine, but with
part of my home equity loan,
I payed for the transplant.
Many people said to me, why don't you get
the Government to pay for
the transplant.
My response was, I am proud to be able to
pay for it myself. This is
the first time I have been able to pay for
something I need and not
depend on the government.

Hi guys,
Was wondering what you think of this. How
about Humanware produce a
device with the dictionary already on the
device? For example, they
could produce their own Talking Dictionary,
with the Oxford Concise
Dictionary as the main software for the
device. Any thoughts on this
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
