On Tid Bits yesterday an article stated the US parent of Humanware are reducing 
the price of the VRS including the Softpack down to $258 which converts to 
around £165. Their UK web site shows the price as £245. I’m not sure if this is 
inclusive of VAT but even if it is still massively higher than the US price. Is 
this yet another case of the disabled being ripped off or will the same old 
hackneyed excuses of support etc. be trotted out? If the Americans can do it 
why the hell can’t we? The excuse of low turn over keeping the prices high 
carries no weight at all. Bring the prices down to an affordable level and 
sales will boom. It most certainly has in the able bodied field.
