Hi, all. Well, the upgrade is done, and went very well. It was a
bit scary while I was getting ready for it, because without thinking,
I started to insert my SD card into the compact flash slot, and the
card disappeared. I turned the mPower upside down, and didn't feel
the card fall out, so I had all kinds of horrid visions of having to
send the unit in, etc. Fortunately, my sighted husband was around,
and he saw that the SD card had fallen into the zipper part of the
case, which I didn't realize I'd left open. So once the card was
found, the upgrade went without a hitch. I was a bit nervous reading
the display, especially when it said "erasing". I take it it erases
the previous image before writing the new one. I, like Pam, wondered
what would happen if there was a power failure in the middle of an
upgrade. <shudder> Fortunately, that didn't happen, and now I can
relax until the next upgrade, which I hope is a .zip file. I told my
computer guru about my problem upgrading, and he said a lot of ISP's
and computer security systems won't let .bin files through, because
it increases the chance of something getting through that you
wouldn't want. So I really encourage Humanware to make upgrades
available as .zip files. Thanks to all of you, especially Kylee, for
your help to Pam and me.
