Our understanding of the Dynavox purchase of the ERICA - is that Dynavox only purchased the technology, and they will incorporate it into their Eyemax products.
It doesn't sound like they will be offering any tech support to any existing ERICA units... which will be a problem for those of us who have used their tech support lines to help get the system up and running. We haven't confirmed this yet, but if anyone else out there has more information about that - that would be helpful.

Thanks,
