[TenTec] Orion firmware update staus posted

[John]

Pretty weak reason Perry.  A lot of us also own the original Orion. 
Regardless,  why hold anyone up?  It'll be two years in May since the last 
update on the O II.  Perhaps Scott will explain why they chose to do the O 
II first, and then hold it up until the O is finished.  Certainly, TT knew 
that the question would be raised.
