website and there was a reminder to customers to update the firmware

Imagine yourself in our position, sitting out here on the ole interweb,
reading your post.

Is it possible that you might just want to know what kind of "hardware"
the OP is talking about?

It's easy to see that you have a software problem.

You'd better walk then. You car probably has a couple dozen computers
in it.

Think about posting the exact "hardware" and manufacturer that you mentioned. You
said you looked at the "manufacturer website". Why not post a link so that we all have a
reference to the issue that prompted your post?

Is there some reason that you are not sharing the specifics of what you are talking about?

No Kidding, I think if there was a firmware update for my Bosch Laser
measure I would want to update it, and certainly for my SawStop. And my
Calculated Industries fraction calculator on my iPhone. Maybe even my
electronic TiltBox angle measure, Calipers etc.

I updated the firmware on my screwdrivers. They work better with a firm
grip.

Hmmm maybe EC can get a firmer grip on his stick, and spend less time on
the internet. :-)

EC I used to think you were a newbie just asking.. Now your pure troll
just trolling.

The rule of thumb with firmware used to be "if it doesn't fix a problem
you have or have a feature you want, don't upgrade it." It was just too
risky, but with the culture of "kick it out the door, it's got upgradable
firmware" I guess that's all changed.

I miss the "don't upgrade unless you have to" way of doing things. It
made for a better product, IMO. It also left you stuck if things didn't
work out, but that didn't seem to happen too often.

It would be nice if the topic drift didn't set in until we actually knew
what EC was talking about.

Teachers have these "prompt books" (not those evil tardy slip things*) to
give you something to write about. EC's just kinda a active version of one
of them.

Obviously, he doesn't want information, so if the topic skews as soon as he
posts a new thread, whatever. You guys are friends I've never met, and I
don't talk about just one subject with most of my friends.
