Re: frustrated with companies that Provide products for the blind
Ever been inside a braille note nPower's battery compartment? Well... I have. That horseshit they shovel at you about special Proprietary batteries stinks to high heaven. They are standard rechargable batteries held in a plastic cradle. The whole things just sort of hanging out inside the machine. the inside of a braile note just lookes like someone who's tried to ram all the bits and bobs you would get in a phone box back in after opening. IE it's a total mess. They wanted to charge my friend something like 150 pounds to have the machine taken away and it's batteries replaced. I don't want to even think of the prophet margen these guys make on this hardware... I once red somewhere that a pacmate costs about $400 to build and then they are being soled on at about 6 K a piece. I guess this is standard practice for note taker builders.
