I have since 11 May 2003 a new iMac 1GHz 17" FP with OSX 10.2.3. I use the internal modem, best connect speed indicated as 49333. I downloaded the Quicktime upgrade two weeks back and it took 59 minutes for the 18.5 mbs to finish, biggest successful download to date. Now there is a new Quicktime, the OS 10.2.6 update over 80 mbs, plus others. I may have access to Windows machine and T1 connection. I called Apple Techservice and asked if downloading the Apple software updates using the T1 and burning a cd on the Windows computer, would I be able to use the cd to install the software on my iMac? Apple tech said he thought it would work, wasn't sure, but thought if the iMac didn't like the data it wouldn't install anything. Is this a 'dumb and dumber' plan?, or will it work??
