The prices on the ELBA are $3995 for the 20 cell display and $5895 for the 32 cell display. You are certainly free to buy whatever you want, however, to the price of the Thinkpad you need to add the cost of screenreaders and if you want them a Braille keyboard and a Braille display. Jaws currently Sellss for $800 and a 20 cell display would cost you around $3000. If you add all of this up, the price fore the ELBA looks pretty good. Not to mention that the ELBA is compact and in one piece. Tommy
