Not too unsurprising. Primary concern currently is to get it stable before making it go fast. We can probably look into that early next week. I'd do right away but I have to be up and out of the house early tomorrow morning so need to stop for tonight. Most importantly to me currently: does it crash still (fw crashes or panics)? Does it work longer term reliably? Also people who get out or move a lot: does it hold up when roaming (possibly manually)? These kinds of things. Lots of health, /bz -- Bjoern A.
