Apple's servers must be swamped. I'm getting time out errors via SU. OK. Got a connection - sloooooow (as in dialup slow). I might abandon this and wait until tomorrow. SU is saying 4 hours to dl this. Ooops! Just timed out again. I'll try tomorrow AM.

Downloaded the combo, installed, clicked "Restart." I've been watching the blue screen with the spinning gear for about ten minutes. The gear appears for a few seconds and then disappears for a few seconds and reappears for a few seconds. Seems to be in a loop. Should I wait it out or go for a hard shutdown and restart?
Downloaded the 730MB Combo Update - took about 2 minutes. Haven't installed yet. Waiting to read about all the "issues" first. I also downloaded the Safari 4 beta update.

Have I ever whined? I take my lumps and deal with them. Of course, I have another bootable volume and a current TM backup. There is always a way out for me.

Not at all. If she knows I've updated/upgraded something, she forgets everything she knows for some reason. Must be from the Windows upgrades at her work.
A 107 page one I wrote and four more that I am consulting or letters of support on. The dice get rolled this summer but the Obama stimulus has been stimulating to say the least. Reviewing 36 grants right now. But in the long run I get more rhinestones.
