I keep forgetting that WiFi and BT are both in the 2.4GHz spectrum. I remember now I used to have problems with a bluetooth headset on my laptop when the only wireless I could connect to was 2.4GHz. Thanks for the reminder, it's a bit less aggravating knowing this!

Started this morning at abt 1100 an update, it is now 1700 hrs and there are still 12hrs to go…. Connected via wifi, but is this normal??? My XT is weird when it comes to downloading updates via WiFi. I can't explain it, but if I have Bluetooth enabled, the download never seems to happen. If I t ...

Yup, I know they can't both run at the same time. I'd run Express first just to see that it "sees" the XT, then I'd exit Express and run Basecamp with no luck. It all seems so sketchy, I wonder if someday it just plain won't work at all!
