Hi all, I'm still a member of the VarioUltra list. We have received news there that production and service of thee VU will be resumed by a new company that bought out Baum. They are apparently named VisioBraille. I am posting a translation of their German web-page--all they have for now--for anyone who may be interested. It's pretty general, but definitely a step in the right direction. Best, Donna
Webpage translation follows: "RESTART of the VISIO and VARIO product lines We continue the products of BAUM Retec AG! The VisioBraille GmbH is convinced of the screen readers of the VISIO family and the VARIO braille displays.
