Actually, in a sense a type of insurance coverage is offered with the
BN. It's called a service contract. <smile> It's one of those things
that you have to decide whether it's worth purchasing or not, based on how
likely you think it is that your BN will need servicing. I like to keep
one on my unit, just because if something major goes out on it, it'll be
covered. But there are times when nothing happens to it, and I've spent
the money for nothing. I'm probably a bad girl, but I don't send my unit
in every year for cleaning like I probably should. I'd miss it too
much. So I just send it in when it needs servicing or upgrading, which has
only been twice in four years. I don't know how much a thousand pounds is
in American money, but it sounds like a lot; so if you can afford it, it
might be a good idea to get a service contract.

Hi list well at last I have my braille note back and working but I feel
some kind of insurance cover should be provided when making a purchase of
this special equipment. my bill came to just over one thousand pounds
which some of it has been paid by my home insurance. I love my braille
note and think it has changed my life in the gps aspect and my work aspect
but as a totally blind person I do think we pay a lot for our special
computers. This is no criticism of pdi who let me borrow a braille note
while my braillenote was being repaired. bye for now.
