Is my 465 now a paperweight?

I tried to update the 465 today. I couldn't get it to stay connected to the computer. My Zumo also needed an update, so I tried it to see if the problem was the puter or the GPS. The Zumo updated with no problem.

So, back to the 465. It finally stayed hooked up to the puter, so I started the update. It seemed to be working, then the puter just shut down. I ended up with GPS showing that it's up to date, but unusable. I'm going to call Garmin Monday, I was just wondering if anyone had seen anything like this.

The last update was in November and there was a glitch that customer support got me through. But it was nothing like this, this seems worse.

As far as I'm concerned the 465 has always been a paper weight. Mine took me down more restricted routes than a car GPS. I upgraded to the pc miler and love it.

After 2 calls to Garmin and being transferred to the software people, the 465 lives. They have no clue as to what the problem was, but it's working.
