Terry, let me be clear, I was not in any way encouraging dishonesty. My
comment about making the discount available to those who mention it when
ordering was in response to several private messages I received on the
subject, asking what proof of membership was required.
Also keep in mind that this is just one of the specials PDH is offering at
the moment. Others include the $1999 VoiceNote special, and others you'll
hear about shortly.

Dear Jonathan,
Although I appreciate your response to this issue of giving a specific
organization's members a discount, you have erred in leaving those of us
who
belong to no organization "out in the cold." This is not the same as
offering frequent flyer miles or any other rewards. The BrailleNote is an
expensive necessity and a discount should be offered to everyone.
PDI/Humanware is discriminating against any blind person who chooses not to
join NFB. Your suggestion that people lie and say they are members of NFB
when they're really not, suggests dishonesty is ok with PDI.
I'm glad you have opened the offer of a discount to ACB members, too, but
you still need to do the right thing for the rest of us:
1. Let everyone receive a discount, beginning November 1, 2003, to
December
31, 2004. Or
2. Let anyone who buys a BN for the first time and who states they have
been referred by a present customer--let that first-time customer receive a
discount. And
3. Let anyone who already has a BN and buys another, should receive a
discount no matter when they buy it.
I realize you personally didn't make the discount deal with NFB, but
PDI/Humanware deserves a definite spanking for what they did. They should
be encouraged to choose from one of the three suggestions above.
