I don't know what to tell you about why this happens, but all I can say is that every piece of computer technology I have ever seen, from my Apple 2E and VersaPoint embosser, to my own BrailleNote and my PC, has crashed or lost data or just acted plain weird, for some unknown reason. I have long since ceased asking "why", whenever the question is computer-related. I have heard a lot of people through the years say, "This should never happen!", and they're right, it shouldn't, but that doesn't change the fact that it does happen. When the Braille display decides to stop working, it could be anything. I'm sure PDI has some idea of why it happens, but I don't think we did anything to cause the problem, and I don't think we can do anything to fix such problems when they arise. It's just one of those things.

And the cost to renew the contract isn't as much as I thought it would be. I am curious to know how the Braille display can suddenly stop functioning without any warning. We don't have any lottery here in Guam no gambling casinos either. I feel a little better but am still quite distressed by this turn of events. I am glad that my files didn't crash and that this happened at the start of the school year instead of at the end of it. Thank you for the sympathy and the good wishes.
