Re: [TenTec] Orion firmware update staus posted

Sorry, but this makes no sense to me.....?  After the considerable wait, why 
not release the upgrade for the O II if it's really completed?  Or, is it to 
buy them another 3-4 months of beta testing?
Does anyone have the rationale for their position?
