This is so true! I however, have spent a small fortune, as I am sure you
have as well, following all the technological improvements as of late. I
feel bad for the individuals that would benefit thru these items but can't
afford the costs of them when they are changing so frequently! The funny
thing is, I am still looking to buy anything that comes up that is better
than the last! LOL! This is how badly we are looking for a easier, simpler
way to communicate. Kirk
