[TenTec] Riding a horse (Orion II)

I got an email from TenTec last February in response to my Orion firmware
problems saying the new load should be out in a few weeks.  They must have
hit a reef.  Maybe February 06?

Tom,
The release of the 2.0 code for the old Orion  may not happen at the same
time the O2 ship date as the code for the two Orions is different.  The
priority now is getting O2 to market,  and the 2.0 code for the old Orion
may have to wait for a while longer.
