This item is for the
convenience of field support and sales.
Someone like Jane Barth or Tari
Runyan needs to hookup an AV-TS unit to her laptop to create a database on a
floppy disk. There is a perfectly convenient floppy drive on her laptop
already. These old AV-TS units exist in the field today and they will
exist in the field tomorrow. The company is not going to eat that
inventory.
Until the new unit becomes available
for demonstrations and production, sales continues to demo the concept of touch
screen voting with the old unit. They can't even demonstrate
the uploading of results unless they have an AV-TS unit connected to
their laptops.
For versatility's sake with the new
unit, you should consider having the ability to download/upload a flash RAM on
a GEMS computer.
