[nabs-l] KNFB Reader

[Hope Paulos]

Thanks J.J. I'm going to have to do some research. I have mobile speak and 
an AT&T phone (which I have to upgrade anyway)... So I'm going to have to 
get the price for just the phone and software. Or else just the software, 
because I'm not sure if it costs me anything to upgrade from my current 
phone to one compatible with KNFB Reader.
Thanks for the help <smile>
Hope and Beignet
