[Reader-users] Ray Kurzweil and the National Federation of the Blind to Announce Groundbreaking New Product

[James Jolley]

Hi,

This is all well and good but what will happen to those of us who have  
had our readers for less than a year? Are we stuck with what we have  
or is this product designed to do something different?

I hope this is the case because this stuff is expensive enough for us  
to not have to upgrade it every five minutes <grin>

Best
