[TenTec] Successful Upgrade of Old Jupiter

[Ken Scheper]

Can someone give ALL of us Jupiter owners a ...1,2,3...process. All of this 
PLD file stuff, etc.. doesn't get it.

I'd like a definite procedure list from Ten-Tec on how it works, and needs 
to be done.  I'm hearing horror stories about blank screens, etc...   Too 
many variables for me to be comfortable with.

Do I need to download direct?  If so, how? Give me a procedure list. 
(e.g.plug A into B, do this or that, hit this button, etc...) Let's make it 
user friendly, not a darn puzzle.

Lets dumb it down a bit for us non-computer techies.... I will take the 
step, but only when I know I won't screw my radio up.  I've just recovered 
from an IE8 debacle....FYI... don't load the 8 Beta!  Some sites want it, 
but the normal sites don't, and won't support it. What a mess!
