Writing as someone who is seriously considering buying a DVR, I really
would like to be confident that the "big jump in usability" that Lyn
anticipates is definitely going to happen.

Whilst it is encouraging to know that Teknatool intend to make upgrades
available to existing owners, if that big jump never actually materializes I
wonder whether I might be left regretting any decision to buy this lathe.

Thus, I think I will wait to see if Lyn's updated report is able to confirm
the arrival of the big jump. If it isn't, then I may have to more seriously
consider the alternatives.

All this talk of software revisions and board changes should not, IMO,
become too much of a focus in one's purchase decision. Teknatool has
every intention of allowing existing DVR owners to be able to upgrade
their DVR with new boards or headstocks, for moderate cost.

For a few, the drop in minimum speed to 100 will represent
that increase in usability, but for most, and perhaps when compared to
potential changes still in the R&D pipeline, the big jump in usability
has not yet been released.
