FWIW I wrote Ron asking about the upgrade last week. He wrote me right
back saying he'd find out and sent me an email the next day with all the
details.

Alas it's not a chip, it's a software upgrade. Even some EH reps are
calling it a "firmware upgrade" but apparenlty that's not true. (according
to the engineer who is training the other techs on the upgrade anyway).

Yes. Unfortunaltey it makes sense since it's not soldering or poping
something in. Still I suppose they could have a Europeon repair site but I
don't think they're that big of a company in the first place. I'm just
happy they responded to criticisms and are offering the updrage period.

Not a bad plan. They did say it only takes a few days to do the upgrade
and they might make an exepction to that if you write and ask in advance.
