[TenTec] firmware update issues please save

[Jim Davis]

Marty, We had a problem with the TT Orion firmware
up-grade because it really was'nt SPECIFIC, and in
that it SHOULD have said that after downloading the
program to CLICK on your START button on your PC then
go to PROGRAMS, then find the UPDATE within the files
that were a part of that entire package on CLICK on
that!!! Since it was'nt explicitly explained to you
even in the MANUAL and I'm not a real PC to begin with
(though I'm learning) I had a helluva time until I
ASKED around!!!
