[TenTec] New Orion I v2 Firmware version: 2.062a

[Martin AA6E]

Rick,

I'll go with half full, if you like!  I (heart) my Orion.

The number to watch is the total number of "outstanding issues" (bugs & 
mis-features) over time.  It should be decreasing, and it probably is -- 
slowly.  Rapidly fixing bugs that were just introduced in the last 
release is good (very good!), but it doesn't help the long term picture.

Software developers will generally tell you that extensive testing is 
crucial to a successful product. I understand TT used to have an Orion 
beta test program, but it folded for reasons unclear to me.  It should 
have caught the recent bugs.

A suggestion for risk-averse users: wait a month before installing a new 
update!
