I got the software update to work. As expected it was user error on my behalf. When I extracted the zip file, I had the sub folders & files copied into another folder - not the ROOT DIRECTORY of the USB drive. As a result the Droid could not find the files, and the update couldn’t install. (I obviously forgot that this is how I did the first two update)
The new features are great! This thing keeps getting better & better.
I’d like to nominate Andrew for the Nobel Prize in the Field of Fabrications.
