Hi Les, You know, I heard the same thing about a new pot that was coming out. I heard they came out with something, and then there was a recall. I also know there was one that came out that was not good for us, and I’m not sure if that was the one that was recalled. So in short, I don’t know. I had also heard that stock of the older models was running short, but I did not hear that specifically about the Bluetooth model. Frankly, were I sighted, I don’t know that I would’ve paid the extra for the Bluetooth. But I would not be without it, since memorizing all that stuff at this point in my life is frankly beyond my pay grade. Smile. And thank you for your good wishes about my treatment. I guess it was successful, so far, except I am left with really bad neuropathy in my feet, which means I can’t use my guy dog and have lost all independent mobility outside of the house. That is difficult to take. Mary
