    Hello All -

    I am most likely going to be taking the site down for at least a little while tonight to do some software updates. I figure most of you will be off enjoying the VP Debate, so you may not even notice :)

    The software updates are in preparation of something happening on PriusChat Monday. Something big. Stay tuned!

    Danny

    Was the surprise the picture from the MFD on the 2010 Prius?

    Hmmmm....I don't think that attaching a picture requires a software update. While it's nice that the Toyota marketing folk brought it here, it really doesn't live up the original announcement.

    Given that Danny doesn't seem to kid around too much about things having to do with the board, I'd guess that whatever the surprise is there was some sort of last minute issue. I'm more than willing to be patient.

    I understand. My comment was more of a joke than anything. I was just wondering what the surprise was, but I guess it was delayed.

    That's a good point. I knew the Prius picture was coming but didn't know about the software upgrade. I'll have to ask him.

    I based that on this language in post #1:

    "The software updates are in preparation of something happening on PriusChat Monday. Something big. Stay tuned!"

    It well could have been that the updates were just a convenient vehicle for dropping a hint. Though frankly, the hint had me looking for something else entirely if that's what happened.
