Mr. (DR.) Watson;
I wouldn't worry about it. There are probably some people out there who can
do it, but most can't/won't/shouldn't do their own upgrades. I know that a
while back I saw some upgrade chips on ebay, I considered them. When I was
informed that it requires SMT soldering I figured that it was way to scary
for me. When someone told me that you did it I started considering it. And
just a little while ago your name came up again, and I saw how cheap the
upgrade was, I'm thinking $75US? How can I go wrong? The only thing that is
giving me some trepidation is sending the Newt off. I know nothing will
happen to it probably, but dang, I love this thing. Now even though I know
there is someone who is going to be selling the chips, I still am going to
go with you, before I leave for Europe.
I think what I mean to say in that rambling is; Don't sweat it. The people
who are going to buy from this guy are the ones who probably wouldn't get
you to do it anyways, they are probably searching for a source for chips
right now.
