JME, I think the point is that unless it's the official release from Dell, you have no way of knowing whether the instructions are 'bad' or 'good'. Using the upgrade means potentially frying your Axim. Even if it's only one in a 1000, I don't want to be that 1.
Theoretically, the new version on CD should ship within two weeks (possibly one now) and Cdn$45 is not an unreasonable price.
Better, if THAT version toasts my Ax, I can legitimately call Dell and say 'FIX IT OR REPLACE IT', since I used a legal copy and their instructions. If you use a hacked version and it fries your Ax, you'll be out the price of a replacement.
So.. unless you're prepared to replace any Ax left fried by following your instructions, I suggest you take it elsewhere.

If the correct instructions are used... (like the ones developed by a few of us) then the percentage is 100% sucess. Tee only risk is the same that one runs when flashing anything from Dell to the PDA. Indeed, it is probably safer than what one might get from Dell.
