Bill, what do I know-- after all, I've never seen an Orion-- but you
have put your finger on something that has baffled me... how come some
folks have all kinds of problems during an upgrade and a whole bunch
more folks have no problems at all? How is that possible? 

Is it a function of the computer, as you say, not having anything to do
with the Orion? 

How is it possible that one guy will say, "Hey, my sweep doesn't work,"
and thirteen others jump in and say, "We have no problem whatsoever with
the sweep"?

How is it possible that five guys will say, "Hey, my radio resets by
itself during a contest!" and three others tell him, "I just worked a
48-hour contest without any problems"?

How is it possible that eight hams have no QSK and six others have QSK
up to 50 words per minute? How is all of this possible?

I just don't know. It's all very baffling. Shouldn't this issue be
resolved before going on to anything else? Aren't you guys curious as to
the cause of all this? Or maybe you have figured it out while I was
daydreaming or something???
