Mica,

     You left out the important reason why TSI gets away with murder.  It
does so, because it's largest customer, the state couldn't care less what
happens once the case is closed.  Further, the state doesn't have to
economize the way a person, most persons, would.  The state can actually
waste the money on Vert, Optacons, and whatever else TSI puts out.  Look, I
do not want to be understood to be saying that No one needs a
Versa-Braille.  Obviously some people need it, like Isaac for example.  In
this day of sophisticated computer equipment, however, there's no other
reason for that over-priced, hacked together item to sell at all.
