Default Random Thought

Ah Steve. Why dont you just pay to have the code updated yourself? Its pocket change right? The Evil OLC is pocketing big piles of cash! Its only a few bucks of work right? So another option might be for you to offer payment to OLC and Cambridge to maintain the code. We could do a cost benifit analysis? Seems like alot of work to avoid buying a new logger. :-) Maybe you could form an organization and get members to chip in? Any of these ideas sound interesting?

One thing is for sure. OLC is not going to continue supporting Cambridge's product(s) for them. Not going to happen. OLC is tired of doing the work at their significant expense and irritation. This has been going on for several years. They are done.

Have you talked to Cambridge about the problem at all? Have they responded to you? If so please share... We cant help you and OLC is done.

Beyond that I dont know what to tell you, Stevo. You might have to, heaven forbin, buy something up to date if you want to participate in OLC. It is unfortunate that this happened for sure but it HAS HAPPENED! Its not going to change unless Cambridge responds. Clearly they do not plan too. Your decision whether to buy something that works with OLC or not is entirely yours.

The $500 units are really nice and have alot of great features.

Good luck.
