“Government rules require the PC be disabled from doing anything other than speech,”

“Medicare reimburses specialty companies who bill it as much as a 2,000% premium on the hardware they provide. “Prentke Romich, for example, charges $250 for a Bluetooth wireless adapter similar to those that cost $20 in stores,” the Times reported.”

Makes me wonder if the fanboyz even read the original article. I am definitely an iPhone fanboy, but even I can recognize this DynaVox company intentionally crippled the PC to meet the stupid government & medical insurance rules. A stock XP Netbook for $350 would have done a better job.

Thats awesome! Another reason for me to continue using their products. MacBook is next on my list.</p> I dont have to use those features but it shows great respect and honor to take the time out to develop features for people with special needs. Thats awesome!
