Imagine if you had to send a battery-powered radio back to Japan or China every time the battery ran out! It would get pretty ridiculous and expensive. I am glad we can get a new car battery for our Daewoo from the Halfords shop down the road, rather than sending the car all the way back to Korea! Clearly they have a monopoly on the device and want to keep charging you (or your insurers) money. I guess that, for people with no head movement, the tongue touch is pretty much the only option, isn't it?<br /><br />It sounds so crazy and unfair that it would be easy to tell you to just get another control method, but I remember reading that you tried a chin-operated joystick and I'm sure it would have been easy to get a sip and puff system had you wanted one back in 2003. I really hope all this gets fixed for you soon.Matthew Smithhttp://www.blogistan.co.uk/blog/noreply@blogger.com
