Bill, The problem isn't so much about the upgrade per se. The problem as I see it is twofold. 1) The attempt to engineer a viable upgrade was legitimate and has been reasonable but BD should have informed the purchaser that there were inherent limitations to the FACStar Plus upgrade and that the upgrade sold and advertised over a year ago is only now being installed. They pushed the envelope of corporate ethics but, for what it says about our society, I really don't know what the envelope is only longer. 2) It is unfortunate, to say the least, that so many FACStar Plus users are being blindsided. If this occured in research you would expect to be laughed at and never funded. We need a direct FACStar/Star Plus/Vantage user's group that will convey these problems to all user's immediately. I thought I was alone in waiting 9 months for my upgrade and in the loss of one parameter when I finally had the upgrade installed. Then I visited the University of Kentucky...
