[Reader-users] Software Upgrade

[Loren Wakefield]

It does happen elsewhere.  We here in the U.S. do not always get things 
first all of the time.  It does not make it right in either case, it just 
makes it what it is.

To be fair, regardless which way they did things, someone would be left out 
or find some other reason to complain.  That's just human nature.  Anyway, I 
hope to make use of and enjoy this upgrade asap.  And to top it all off, 
once we have this upgrade and have used it for a little bit, this list will 
be full of complaints of why such and such a feature was not included, or 
this feature does not work to someone's satissfaction, or something.  That's 
just the way we humans are.

In closing, let me say to all of you here in the U.S. have a great Fourth of 
July.
