So the way we did that in the warehouse was, they would post whatever the update was on the FTP site. James would go get the file and put it on the cards. Because you load everything through the PCMCIA cards. You boot it up using the card and it loads the new software. "This was done in the warehouses -- once the machines were sent out to the county, these updates were done just to make sure the machines were running correctly. I went over to Dekalb . We updated 1800 machines in basically a day and a half. I still remember ol' Rusty, down at the warehouse, we ended up touching every single machine off the pallet, booting 'em up, update it, we had a couple hundred machines done when in comes a new update over the phone.
