Sorry to hear you are still freezing. We are experiencing a heat wave here in Iowa, we are currently at 27F and are expected to hit 37F, or so they tell us. ;-) However it is snowing today so we are getting a new blanket of white. ;-) Cheers, Gene -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Howard Cummer <cummer@netvigator.com> > > Hi Luggers, > I have been following with trepidation the reports on the Leica Forum > about a few M8's suffering SDS when installing the latest firmware > 1.201.
