Yes, but keep that first firmware, and you will have a unique collectors
piece ;-) Yeah, I'm of course using "magenta" for the "woes" in general. I
had great fun on the beach with the 90 elmar c yesterday, and it makes the
Tri-elmar far more useable than it was before. Quite addictive indeed.

Cheers and good luck: if you think you have problems, shipping it back
from Oz will see it gone for ages :-(
