[Reader-users] just curious

[Robert Carter]

Hi,

Nobody has to buy anything. If, however, you want to keep up with the 
latest advances, there will always be something new to buy. That is 
just how it works and there is no way that software and hardware 
development is going to slow down. I always think of the price that I 
pay for technology as more like a rental fee for the right to use the 
technology until the next thing comes along.
