It would depend on what exactly Apple broke. It could just make it worse, on an already affected system. At this point, I would recommend doing *nothing* unless something is *noticeably* broken. Give Apple a chance to fess up etc. ...There is a reason we don't recommend that people install OS updates as soon as they're released. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
