However, it's good to know I can go "straight to the source" instead of waiting for Astak to post a new load from Jinke.

Dear ekaser:

Gee, what you guys do to get around old slow Astak. (HA!) Us Astak people now feel slighted and the hurt is profound.

Catch our new upgrade next week. I am beginning to think I should contract with ekaser to get our firmware upgrades instead of the factory. IF only you knew just how many firmware upgrades come about at the factory because we take your wants and desires seriously and ask for them.

Should I send you a bottle of Tylenol? Or perhaps another type of bottle?

I live on the bleeding edge of technology, Robert!

Seriously, we DO appreciate what you guys do to maximize our experiences with your products!!! I figured that you guys wouldn't want to add EVERY little update that Jinke comes out with, as that might be "thrashing the water" a bit much for your average run-of-mill user. But us techie types like to squeeze everything we can out of our toys.

Now, what did I do with that bottle???

By the way, Robert, since we're talking about firmware updates...

Please pressure Jinke to provide better lists of changes in each rev of the firmware. At least, I hope that they keep track of any changes they make to the various programs, so it shouldn't be too hard to compile a list of what the changes are. It would be nice to know about the MINOR changes as well, not just the MAJOR added features. Sometimes the minor changes fix problems that are bugging people, or cause problems. Without knowing what changes occurred, it's hard for us "techie users" to provide better feedback to Astak and Jinke, to help continue the improvement of these devices.
