What's so technical about his message? He tried updating and got an error; it's as simple as that.

Hi Robert, I can see you're technically sophisticated, and I'm certainly not complaining. But would you mind translating into regular English what you mean when you talk about "updating to the release candidate?" I'd love tounderstand how you'd say that if you didn't know those expressions. I don'tmean the individual words. I know the words themselves. I'm sure there'ssome grammar missing, as there usually is with tech talk, so it makes it allthe more baffling to me. I'm sure it's not much more esoteric than thetechhy way of calling one's email program a "client," the kind of thing evenNew York Times tech columnist David Pogue complains about. Anyway, I'm notbeing partisan. if that kind of diction is cool in tech circles, fine by me.But how do you say it in a regular way, sort of? thanks.
