You're welcome. I think many, if not most people are simply unaware that 
firmware updates are very frequently available for digital hardware, 
much of which is shipped for sale before it is really completely ready 
for the big-time. It is common with both hardware and software, either 
because the companies don't know of deficiencies, or because they simply 
want to start generating income from a product to cover the cost of 
development. As I understand it, release dates are often dictated by 
marketing and finance depts. rather than engineering. So it's generally 
worthwhile checking mfrs' websites for updates.

FWIW
