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

[Mark Feliz]

Hello James Jolley:

I am quite sure that K NFB reader users will continue to receive timely
upgrades on their A and B models. I personally would not expect any company
to replace my already purchased unit with a newly designed model. If that
were the case I would return my car after ten months for the newest model.

I am very excited to know that KNFB and Ray Kurtzweil are continuing to
strive forward to give the blind an equal playing ground. I wish I could be
present for the showing. I was proud and honored to be part of the beta
tester group. You and I and all whom have made use of the reader are part of
history. I look forward to the day when I too can be a proud owner of a
Reader.


Happy reading.
