[Electronics-talk] Important message to avoid being taken advantage of

[Ashley Bramlett]

Well, I like Laz's message which wasn't really his words, he just 
distributed it.
Reviews on any electronic device are good. Buyer be ware. Also, he brought 
to my attention something for which I did not know. It is that the Braille 
does not offer returns.
That's too bad.

I've seen similar complaints on this MP3 player from several sources
over the last few months, so it isn't just Laz reporting this, and I can
see where he'd want to make sure that his MP3 players don't get tainted
with the same bad press. Besides, I can just delete Laz's messages if I
wanted to. Personally, I'd rather read Laz's messages than have to
delete your rants against Laz which don't add anything to the list.
