Hi Ann and list: You wouldn't have to purchase another Sandero GPS for your trade-up BrailleNote, nor would you need to buy another dictionary and thesaurus. In the case of Sandero, you would just contact them with your new unit's serial number and they'd issue you with a new product key. In the case of the dictionary and thesaurus, Humanware would provide you with a new product key, although they might even install the package onto your trade-up unit for you. Yes, these are important points to consider. I've written to Maurice and some senior people at Humanware about the deep concerns being expressed on the list about the policy change not to offer maintenance agreements on units with Tieman Braille displays any longer. Regarding why Humanware offered transplants in the first place: Well they probably either had been assured of, or expected, Tieman to continue providing them with repair parts for several years as at the date they decided to offer transplants. Actually, a U. S. $2,200 trade-up offer to an Mpower with KDS display from a transplant with Tieman display is probably a pretty good value. Its still $2,200, but I believe even an 18 cell display sells for more than that off the shelf. Take care. Brian Brian K.
