[TenTec] re should i buy an orion now

[Toby Pennington]

There seem to be two groups of people out there with Orions.  Those that
have had one in the past and have had problems with the hardware of
software,  and then there are those who seem to have no problems at all.  It
may be that the hardware has been improving as time has passed and the ones
having the problems are from the earlier production runs.  Maybe some
updating is needed in the earlier versions to bring older models up to date?

Does this make any sense and how would we know? Would anyone tell us?
