[Reader-users] hello from a newbie

[Janet Coleman]

I  would say "Buy it now>"  I have had mine for about  four months, and once 
I got everything figured out, I have found it to be incredibly helpful.  My 
son suggested that I wait until all the  "bugs" had been worked out, and the 
price was possibly lower.  My comment to him was, "I need it now."  If it 
becomes obsolete in a few years,  well I've had the use of it for that time. 
And I think that  the  company will continue to make software  improvements 
that can just be added to the reader.
    I had an incredible amount of kind half from Jim, and I'm not sure that 
I would have learned so quickly how to use it if he had not always been 
available to help.  So, you can count on help being available.  And  you'll 
get lots of help  from people on the list serv who have had experience with 
the reader.
    buy it now if you can.
Janet Coleman.
