My local DynaVox rep told me that DynaVox will offer tech support for the
ERICA.  She said the tech support people from Eye Response went to
Pittsburgh to train the DynaVox tech support people.

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,
