If we get a reasonable margin, IE enough to cover support etc, not all dealers, myself included, will raise the price. I am hoping to become a dealer anyway. Not all dealers are greedy, remember that. If I can make a living, I'm happy. All the best Steve -----Original Message-----

What really, did they have to save on two extra dots? OK, we have seen 6-dot computer Braille, using two characters for representing one computer character, like the backslash, digits and certain others, even the Captalized characters. Yet, most Braille computer users, might agree, the 8-dots makes it much easier to cooperate with the actual contents of the screen. Try routing to a character on the screen, or lining up contents, when you have some of the characters represented by two cells on the display. I do woncder, if they have solved these issues in any other way? Pricing seem interesting enough, except from the fact they are asking for dealers. My thought is, that likely these dealers will raise the product price drastically. When they first informed about the development, I contacted them and asked if it would be sold directly to end-users, and it seems they somehow have changed the intentions. Shipping, Taxes and dealer's money-making - be prepared for prices 50-100 percent higher. And by then, a 6-dot display with the drawbacks thereof, might be little interesting. You might soon enough look at other products. Will be interesting to follow the product though, as we might see more user-feedback, and on-hand experiences. The idea, intention and release is of great interest, I think. But it cannot be left-out, the disappointment when it only holds 6-dots. Even, they could have run two models, 6-dot for a lower price, and 8-dots as an alternative. Honestly, my first Braille display ever, was in '84, and even back then 8-dots were the standard for computerized operation. close to 35 years later, 6-dots?
