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

[James Jolley]

Hi,

I wasn't suggesting that my unit be replaced, indeed I have already  
had to have that done as my camera died for no reason and refused to  
take pictures of any meaning. I just worry that when new things come  
out, existing users of both A and B readers might be left out in the  
cold so to speak. When one buys a product, especially when your buying  
it yourself, you would expect to have some update path or something.

Best
