well, hims is selling their displays for now, and hims customer service hasn’t been great historically, but when I asked a question last week I got a reply in two days, and that was right on new year’s eve when I asked, so I was impressed. I worry about any company for the blind or visually impaired if I’m honest. so many are moving to phones using speech and abandoning specialized equipment. I would be concerned yes, but the display is outstanding, imo the hardware is better than vario. I had to send my VU in twice for issues, but not the actilino. the actilino also uses an off the shelf battery, so if like my vu did the battery goes you can just buy a 7 dollar battery from amazon and replace it yourself. I also had to write handitech, or helptech or whatever they are now directly once, requesting better software, just ideas for improvements, and had someone reply to me twice within an hour. I am not going to tell you not to worry at all that they’ll be around, but if it was me I would still buy one. as I said the software is awful, but the hardware is incredible.

Just out of curiosity, because I know you went through the Baum debacle too, do you ever worry about HandyTech going under?
