I sensed it, and I did a software update. For no peculiar reason whatsoever and I found it.

you mntion PowerPC. Is this because you have a PowerPC and don't know about the Intel version, or because Apple is really releasing the updates for intel iMacs later.

Broken Link :mad: It's not your fault, it's Apple's (since the link in software update is the same one). I'm not installing 'till I find out what it does.
Edit: They fixed it. :)
