I think mine is only 4 years old. I think I originally got 4.2 or 5.0. Then I got a free upgrade to 5.1 at convention. Then in the next year, January I think, I got my transplant. My transplant is only 2 years this January or Febuary. There is nothing wrong with my cells, thankfully and the fact that they will not clean machines at convention, has become a hardship!

And, too, seeing as the mPower was just released in June of 2005, wouldn't a lot of these Braille displays be less than six or seven years old? Sure, as Maurice, or the statement he sent to the list said, anyway, some of these Braille displays would be that old, but certainly not a good majority of them. Oh, but I just happened to think about something else, seeing as we're discussing this. Didn't the new cells come out in 2004 before the mPower was launched? So, wouldn't there be at least a few folks who did the transplant to the mPower, but then already had the new cells before the transplant?

What Maurice is saying sounds rather illogical. The transplant should have increased the manufacturing of the old braille cells not decreased them. Also, If there was a problem with getting parts, why wasn't something done about it. While they had a manufacturer, why did they not solve this problem or find a new manufacturer. There are to many machines and people's finances put at risk. Terry Powers ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
