[rfm]

PornoPablo,
Thanks for the advice. i've come across the firmware update while checking this site and another. not being too tech savvy i've been hesitant about trying to update, especially since i notice some other people have had some problems when updating f-w for their own devices (for example, apparently the problem you've had with the turkish symbols in the main menu). is this the only problem you've come across?
as i mentioned this will be a christmas gift for my daughter. looks like i will give it to her as is, and then try and update it later after i've had a chance to learn a bit more. and have her hate me forever if i mess things up!!! when i do try i will post my results in this forum.

i notice that there is a new poll being taken regarding buying on-line or from a store. looks like this example would support buying from a conventional store, and reading the manual first (can't do that on-line). the apacer web site and the few reviews i read on line don't mention this problem. thanks again.
