[X4U] Updating to 10.4.2: yes or no? Mixed feeelings

[Fred Ehmann]

FWIW I have updated a Dual 800 G4, a 15" Al Powerbook, and a Dual 1.8
G5. I actually forgot to detach my Firewire drives from the desktop
units before the update but have experienced no problems on any of the
machines or drives.

Take a deep breath and go for it. :-)
