8=> Photo of the BrailleNote PK Flying Blind, LLC is both ecstatic and
astounded to announce that its supplier has reduced the price of the
BrailleNote PKs advertised a couple of weeks ago from $2,995.00 USD each to
$1,999.00 USD each; that's approximately $3,000.00 USD off of their list
price! Unbelievable, unheard of, but true! These units are brand new, and
available only while supplies last. These PKs are running the latest version
of KeySoft designed for the PK and come with a manufacturer's warranty.
Also, Flying Blind, LLC is providing an optional upgrade to the globally
acclaimed Sendero GPS for BrailleNote PKs for an additional $1,000.00 USD -
another tremendous savings!!! So, for US$2,999.00 USD you can own one of the
world's smallest notetakers with a fantastic GPS solution, integrated right
into the PK!!! For more information email featured at flying-blind.com or call
+1 (216) 381-8107. Act now while supplies last! All available units will be
sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. (PC not included. Mobile phone not
included.)

Greetings!
