Subject: [Braillenote] planned techno failure
Maurice,

"People do have an unrealistic expectation of how long you should be
able to service something. I'm not a heavy mobile phone user, but I'm
onto my 5th phone and in most instances I've got a new phone because the
old phone just couldn't be serviced, and if I wanted some new feature
then I payed for a new phone."
So humanware will also become part of our throw-away culture? And
anyhow, a cell phone costs $100 or thereabouts, unless of course you
choose to get a more expensive one with more bells and whistles. But one
has no choice in the price of these note takers, and the idea of
spending $6000 every 5 years or so to replace the Braille Note is
unacceptable and indicates to me that the machines are not very well
made. It's not only a matter of new technology, it's a matter of
duragbility, stability and adaptability.
In short, these things are simply too expensive to require such
frequent replacement. Can you imagine the outrage if drivers were forced
to replace their cars every 5 years?
