I had some 'stupid' errors, I reset the Flash and set it back up with
3.5.  Mine has been stable for nearly 4 months now.  It had been up for
nearly a month and it went down last week because I changed which
power-strip it was on...

I really really thing Livingston should have said something about
flashing just to be 'safe' on the 3.3 -> 3.5 upgrade.
