I am old enough and maybe wise enough to understand all my ideas aren't good but, here I go anyway. Wonder if a really savvy computer person could put the update information on a c d and transfer it to the machine that way. Question probably should be, would the p t r accept the data from the c d drive. I suppose one could transfer same from the c d rom to your p c and then import it in to the unit from the u s b port as normal. If you think this might work I believe I can get it done, and will be happy to snail mail you a copy.
Just the ramblings of a slightly technically challenged old man, Phil Parr. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Reeder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2004 11:45 AM Subject: Re: Re: Is anyone having this problem with your PTR? > It was on the old firn war because I hafve never updated it because I have > too much trouble trying to do it off the computer.
