Scott,
Thanks that's a great idea. I did do the long distance tech support
with mom. She did good. I sent a picture of the RB750 first and we discussed it
before I had her move the cable. It went well.
I totally agree about the upgrade thing, but what I've been doing is
running the beta here locally and if it works good I put it on my parent's
RB750. But yes, I am living dangerously. For the longest time I stayed with the
latest stable version of ROS v4.
