-Our [AltOS](../AltOS) firmware works well enough that we now routinely fly 
-TeleMetrum with no backup.  Rockets with v0.1 boards have exceeded 50g

-than 12k feet AGL with great results.  Keith's ground station program

+We consider our [AltOS](../AltOS) firmware completely reliable, and routinely 
+fly TeleMetrum with no backup.  Rockets with TeleMetrum boards 
+have exceeded 50g acceleration, been well above Mach 1, and reached altitudes 
+greater than 25k feet AGL with great results.  Keith's second generation 
+ground station program called altosui works on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems
+and logs telemetry to disk, displays current and max values for key parameters 
+during flight, and even includes voice synthesis during the flight so that 
+our eyes can stay on the rockets!  After flight, altosui can extract the 
+complete flight log from TeleMetrum, can display plots of the data from either
+the telemetry received by radio or the onboard flight log, can output a kml 
+file for use with [Google Earth](http://earth.google.com), and can also 
+output all the flight data as a csv file for easy import to spreadsheet 
+programs or other analysis tools allowing you to perform whatever
+custom analysis you can envision!  More details on the software,

 ## Future Plans ##
 
-As of May 2010, version v1.0 is available for sale from the
-[Garbee and Garbee](http://auric.gag.com) web store.
-
-Because we understand that not everyone uses Linux, development of a new
-cross-platform ground station program written in Java is underway for use with 
-[AltOS](../AltOS).
+TeleMetrum v1.0 meets all of our expectations.  We anticipate another
+production run of boards soon, which will include minor design tweeks mostly
+to work around component availability issues.
