"This will be my last post on this. UPMAN also made the same statement that HE WAS NOT IMPRESSED."
Are you serious?
"Additionally, firmware changes are made throughout the process in response to identified performance issues...there were several firmware versions that didn't impress me too much, but that is the entire point of testing different methods...try several and use the one that results in the best performance."
Nowhere in there does he indicate he was not impressed BY THE SCANNER. There were some firmware updates that did not work as planned apparently, but do you think that's where they stopped? Or would they "use the one that results in the best performance"? Hmmm...
