I'm delighted they have a new product.  But I sincerely hope that I can
upgrade my old one.  Mr. Gashel, can you tell us what is going on?  Are we
stuck with a fossil we cannot trade in or upgrade?

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
