Hi Sarah, well the phrase damned if you do and damned if you don't comes 
to mind here. There is absolutely no error here. We wanted to get KeySoft 
6.11 out to customers as quickly as possible. Had we taken time to update 
the labels of the cards that were already in the warehouse in the United 
States, and I hasten to add that neither Braille nor print labels were 
updated, then there would have been further delay, and we all know what 
that would have meant in terms of traffic on this list. We did what we did 
to get the software out to people that they so desperately wanted, and I 
think this is putting the customer's needs first. keep in mind that 6.11 
was a minor patch which for a few users had major consequences. 
Nevertheless it is very easy to tell that you have 6.11 by checking the 
build of the software on the CF card itself. This is in no way at all 
different from the practice of many IT companies where labels are not 
changed for minor build changes. In fact, one of our competitors recently 
released a product, ironically also 6.1 of their software. A few weeks 
later, they released another version, but they also called it 6.1. The 
only way you know that there is a difference is by checking the build of 
the software. At least we've made a new version number to make it clear 
what you're getting, when you check the CF card. So I am absolutely 
comfortable with the fact that we acted appropriately to get people their 
software as soon as we practically could. While we'll never please 
everyone, I'd bet my house on the fact that this decision is what the 
majority of people would have had us do, since they wanted their software 
without further delay. So if you want to call for my resignation over 
getting the software out there as fast as we could, be my guest.
