As a blind consumer, I am concerned...Dear Serotek, <br />As a blind consumer, I am concerned that this product is far too liberal for the low price you charge. In edition to the limited tech support, you must promise at least a 2 month turnaround time for users who submit their devices for repair. Blind people need to understand that their hardware is incredibly specialized, and giving them the product back too soon might lead to an unhealthy sense of entitlement. How dare they ask for their computers back soon to keep their lives in order? People need to understand that they must accommodate the AT companies and not the other way around. <br />You also failed to mention a product SMA. It should be used only to repair the current chips, and should not be valid over christmas or any other holidays. Also, the SMA should not cover any cost of upgrading the original hardware. <br />Please tell me you will fix these glaring flawes in your product. My life as an old curmudgeon who refuses to live in the 21st century with its accessible IOS, android, and linux devices depends on it! <br /><br />Happy april fools day guys. Nice job! <br /><br />JohnJohn J Herzoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564380207435017307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143723380059090027.post-61634157560102212152011-04-01T17:52:30.148-07:002011-04-01T17:52:30.148-07:00Dear Serotek,
As a blind consumer, I am concerned...Dear Serotek, <br />As a blind consumer, I am concerned that this new device is entirely too liberal for the low price you charge. In my opinion, in edition to the limited tech support, you must promise at least a 2 month turnaround time for users who need to submit their devices for repair. Blind people need to understand that their products are incredibly specialized, and giving them prompt service might lead to an unhealthy sense of entitlement. How dare they ask for things quickly so as to have their lives back in order? They need to understand that they must accommodate the AT companies, and not the other way around. <br />Also, you failed to mention a yearly hardware SMA, which should not count for the upgrade of any new versions. It is only spent to allow the repair of the current chips, and should not count over christmas break or any other major holidays. <br />Please promise me you will fix these massive defects with your product. My life as an old curmudgeon who refuses to live in the 21st century with its accessible android, linux, and IOS devices depends on it! <br />Happy April fools day guys. Nice job! <br /><br />JohnJohn J Herzoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564380207435017307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143723380059090027.post-37250393343591521932011-04-01T14:53:10.810-07:002011-04-01T14:53:10.810-07:00As funny as this was, I am reminded of a computer ...As funny as this was, I am reminded of a computer I bought in 1994. It had a 340MB hard drive and 8MB of RAM. It ran DOS and didn't even come with a modem. It had Vocal-eyes for a screen reader, OSCAR to perform OCR, and a new-to-the-market Dec-Talk Express external synthesizer. throw in the HP flatbed scanner, and the price was just over $4,000. My how times have changed!<br /><br />also, the Echo 2 reference made me laugh out loud. i remember using that synth on an Apple 2E back in 1985. The cool thing about the Echo, as bad as the speech was, was that you could write a program in Basic that could change the pitch, volume and speed of the speech by using character strings. Add in a function that would send random numbers to the character string parameters, and you could make the synthesizer absolutely flip out with constantly and randomly changing pitch, speed and volume.

I especially like the fact that you set up a BBS for this. :DBlindRaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361182019603354100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143723380059090027.post-76050968935155798942011-04-01T11:30:07.446-07:002011-04-01T11:30:07.446-07:00Cool, will the GTO include a Gopher client?

I'd also like to keep up with my favorite Gopher sites, and follow all the latest cold war happenings. Sometimes I run out of VHS tapes and can't record the evening news, I'm sure you folks at Serotek know how that goes. Or maybe that's what the G in GTO stands for? If so, then cool on you for embracing the future!<br /><br />No worries if the initial version doesn't include a Gopher client, however. It is rather cutting-edge tech. If you need a few years and a few more thousand dollars then I understand. I don't really need two kidneys, after all. I also don't know what a spleen is, so I can't imagine that I need it for anything. I'm holding that in reserve in case Freedom Scientific releases something for Windows 3.11, though, so if you really want the spleen too then you'd better support token ring networking.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06633488320060923093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143723380059090027.post-39424969111958900932011-04-01T11:14:07.844-07:002011-04-01T11:14:07.844-07:00Wow, how exciting?

Then I could keep up on all the latest cold war happenings, not to mention follow news on missed episodes of Star Search!
