What! less drinking?! Are you nutz! How do you think I get through dealing with all this Hopper turmoil? In my younger days, last week, we didn't get started until 2 in the morning, which were also office hours for many years prior to getting into the entertainment biz. Anyway I'm a second shifter from years of owning "entertainment venues" and now retired I get way too much sleep. But all this has nothing to do with fact that my experience with the HwS has been a nonstop roller coaster ride. I pray that the final CUI isn't as much of one.
Forcing the CUI update was out of my control. It was my inner juvenile geek that made me do it. The "Nerd Factor" of the CUI played into my tech additiction.

Whereas, with the S529 reversion, the bad PQ was back. It was nice to have a comparison. I am once again looking forward to the update and hope the "rumored" and what I saw in picture quality increase returns. Fingers crossed.
Although I know my HwS is out to get me, it has been a wild ride and learning experience. Thanks for posting and it's time to go to bed now that I have seen the sunrise and I'm done talking to China. Just wanted to share yet another strangeness that is the
