Whatever. People who manually install firmware are expected to be big boys and take responsibility for their actions, which includes knowing what they are doing.

I also remember back in the old days when I had a Garmin gps it would start an upgrade while you were using it to navigate. You couldn't stop the update which meant you also couldn't use it to navigate.
So Garmin has no idea how to implement an update scheduler, and they make inferior products? OK -- but that doesn't mean auto-updates are inherently bad.
