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.

I'm hoping that this will stop safari crashing all the time like it is!

EDIT: I have to restart, see you on the otherside!

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. :)

Funny... About This Mac reports that I'm running 10.4.5 even before I restarted, even before Software Update is finished... :confused:
