[Reader-users] Price Change

[james gashel]

Hi Ken and All:

The rumors you have heard about having a stand are true.  The 
stand is actually coming soon.  I don't know about particulars 
concerning cost, etc., but it definitely won't break the bank.  
The stand has been developed by the NFB and will be available 
directly from the NFB's Independence market.

I have one prototype stand right now, and it really works great!

Thanks, J.  G.
