Sure you can Phil. updates will need to be done on a computer with an Internet connection, downloaded and saved to storage media (CD, Thumb Drive, External Hard Drive etc. ("Floppy Disk"?) and then inserted or otherwise connected to the PICO unit and the software ran. Hope that clears things up for you.

I always download the latest software to an portable external hard drive, this way I can download it into any PC I have in the shop, I save these downloads just in case I want to go back to an earlier version.

Do you have an portable external hard drive?

It took me 8 mins to write this, but in the mean time I checked that it was true by taking my external hard drive to an old laptop and sucsesfully installed it.

RT your as fast as me now ;D

That Ain't never gonna happen Speedy.

I generally download to a shared drive on the network and update from anywhere in the building.
