John - as I usually do, I ran the incremental upgrade. But based on input from the List, especially from Massimo here in GVA, I downloaded the Combo update (80+ MB) this mornng, and applied that over my existing 10.2.6 system. Absolutely no problem to do that. The first thing I noticed was that - as with the incremental updater - my default browser was changed from Safari, and I had to re-set it manually to Safari. That confirmed the weirdness I had reported for my incremental update! Too early to comment on any other aspect of the update (Word stability). In future, I will downlaod (since I have broadband anyway) the Combo updater and use that, if the accepted wisdom is that this is a "better" update protocol. T.
