From: DarkAngel <DarkAngel_at_omega.dnsalias.org>
Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2003 12:22:01 +0200 I vote for the charging screen too ;) I have a small question about the archos firmware you (Jörg) include in your release package : when pressing the F1 key I got the 1.28 firmware of Archos but on their web site (http://www.archos.com/download/firmware.html) the only update for the recorder is 1.27d ! where did you get the 1.28 ?
