Maybe it slipped your mind that the definition did not come from
Ten-Tec, old boy.

Noooo...I provided the definition based on the whole rest of the
electronics industry.


You provided? Your statement seems at odds with the other definitions
in existence.

Like:

hmm, even the IEEE has it wrong too! ;^)

The internet, superb source of information that it is, wasn't able to
provide any other definitions of firmware.


Again, I provided you with a definition and a link to
the Ten-Tec site containing the term. Take it up with the providers of
the serveral definitions I found online and/or with Ten-Tec. They don't
seem to support your earlier statements on the topic.

Snarly dave, stay in retirement on that pension...you couldn't get
a job in the real electronics industry under your daffynitions.

Go play with your radios and try to understand the instructions for
your mighty orion. Are they written in English?


I'll take that as your only way of conceding a point.


I'll correct you once again. I never wrote of downloading hardware. I
wrote of downloading firmware upgrades. Do try and keep things
straight.

It's hard to play straight in this radio vaudeville slapstick. :-)


I'll bet it is, especially when you have no material. You'll have to
fall back on your usual, the tap dancing routine.

Be nice, Dave! ;^)
