Not everyone at Outback was aware that we had almost certainly eliminated user meddling as a possible cause. I assured them again that the equipment is behind a locked door. Because they did not know this they were not aware that the system apparently reprogrammed itself. They now know this. I apologize for insinuating Outback was not taking this seriously, they just did not communicate internally.</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">2. Everyone I have spoken with at Outback is concerned and acting in a positive, professional manner to get this sorted out.</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">3. I can't say anything for certain regarding the cause. The net result is that the inverter programming was scrambled, but I won't hazard a guess as to how this happened.</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">In case anyone misunderstands, I am a fan of the Outback equipment line and of the people that work at Outback. I just have concerns about the software. As equipment becomes more software intensive and more connected, even the best hardware can be rendered inoperative by software problems.</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Several of you have contacted me off-line asking to be kept updated. I will continue to do so. It is most efficient for me to do so on-line. If the information is not of interest to most of you I can easily take this off-line. I trust Michael can give me guidance on that point.</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">William</p></div></div></div></div>
