I have been wishing for this kind of thing as well. Being a trainer of the Bn and Vn, I have both seen students needing to send there machine in as well as I did at one time. I was lucky enough to have one at work to borrow. Perhaps people who have a sma could be guaranteed a loaner if they needed one. For the people who could not or did not want to do a sma, perhaps if PDI implimented a small loaner's fee. This would of course cut into the amount of machines they could put out at a time, because they would have to keep a certain number set aside for users. This particular subject is one of the biggest complaints I have heard from state rehabilitation councilors who are choosing a personal data organizer for there client.
