[G4] OS 10.2.8 Update

[stuart weisberg]

Hi,
I faced the same issue several months ago. After
talking to Apple support (I had recently purchased an
Imac) the rep. said that the local Apple store should
allow me to use their high speed lines to make the
download. All I needed to supply was the Disc. I
called to confirm and they said yes. End of problem.
