I don't know the age of dectalk, but I do know that my company started using
it when they introduced the Liberator in the early 90's, but it's definitely
long overdue, but we're trying. Also the research and development behind
communication devices is costly, and we don't mass produce like a regular
computer company does, and we can only charge within a certain range. This
is one of several reasons why my family and I are so against the Iraq War,
we're spending billions there trying to improve their human services, and
yet when something like a communication device, wheelchair or whatever gets
recommended for somebody, it's like pulling teeth to get funding. Don't get
me wrong, it's ok to help other countries, but we went at Iraq totally
wrong, but yet I feel we shouldn't just pull out without fixing what we
broke, because we have our creditability to restore.
Thanks,
Anthony
