Hi Jonathan,

Well-stated.  Is the current build build 26?  Mine was installed in
California, and that's the version number than shows up.  Thanks.
Best Regards,

Les

Hi Sarah, well the phrase damned if you do and damned if you don't comes to
mind here. There is absolutely no error here. We wanted to get KeySoft
6.11 out to customers as quickly as possible. Had we taken time to update
the labels of the cards that were already in the warehouse in the United
States, and I hasten to add that neither Braille nor print labels were
updated, then there would have been further delay, and we all know what that
would have meant in terms of traffic on this list. We did what we did to get
the software out to people that they so desperately wanted, and I think this
is putting the customer's needs first. keep in mind that 6.11 was a minor
patch which for a few users had major consequences. 
Nevertheless it is very easy to tell that you have 6.11 by checking the
build of the software on the CF card itself. This is in no way at all
different from the practice of many IT companies where labels are not
changed for minor build changes. In fact, one of our competitors recently
released a product, ironically also 6.1 of their software. A few weeks
later, they released another version, but they also called it 6.1. The only
way you know that there is a difference is by checking the build of the
software. At least we've made a new version number to make it clear what
you're getting, when you check the CF card. So I am absolutely comfortable
with the fact that we acted appropriately to get people their software as
soon as we practically could. While we'll never please everyone, I'd bet my
house on the fact that this decision is what the majority of people would
have had us do, since they wanted their software without further delay. So
if you want to call for my resignation over getting the software out there
as fast as we could, be my guest.
