Hi Rhonda and list, I really can't add much to what you had to say! I will say that when technology is updated or comes out with something new, things change so fast! I doubt one could find one of the old ambicom wireless cards which worked in the classic. I have one but it would go to the classic unit I'd sell unless I could upgrade it to an M-power. I have two classic units I'd love to upgrade and sell to someone who needs them but must have one of the cells in the 32 cell display fixed. I think dot five or six keeps sticking up! My biggest pet peeve is not being able to get what I hoped out of any older technology I might have. Guess that is part of the frustration of owning technology.

First of all, I am glad you said something that made sense. All morning, there have been a couple of list members who act like Humanware. One person always speaks up about what they can do for someone, that no one else can do. It's not true, folks: we all have the same voice, if we'd use them. > Jim, I agree with you about products. Number one, the more AM radio we ask for, and other such things will definitely up the price with this technology. It almost seems like we'd like our machine to bring us coffee, (grin)! Yes, Mary Ellen is right: we have lost contact with Humanware in many respects. When I say this, I mean actual "Humanware staff." One of the things that will always bother me is the classic situation. Many people cannot afford to upgrade. I'm glad we're getting SSL. We need that. I also recall the commitment for Microsoft Word documents to be read. This will not happen for the classic users as was planned. Sorry that I feel bad for them, but I do. If their ethernet card goes out, too bad. None are made any more. In saying that, I want to give a personal thanks to someone, and she knows who she is, that helped someone hang on to life just a little longer. An ethernet card was found for this person. The person who found this card is an angel. OK, sorry for the rambling. -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
