Hi Tom,
Thanks for the heads up. You know, I had already downloaded this 
particular 521.dmg Airport Base Utility. But before I had popped open 
the contents folder and pried out the necessary applications I had 
read from someone else, who had posted on-line, that you required the 
original v5.0 software to upgrade from. Well... instead of ignoring 
the advice and now it turns out - inaccurate. I went looking for v5.0 
to upgrade, posted here and the rest, as you know, is history.

In short, the Airport Base Utility 5.21 works properly. Doesn't give 
us anything we didn't already have with v.4.2 except a much cleaner 
looking interface to set up the Extreme base station and to review 
and/or change settings. Regardless, I ran the the new utilities even 
though I really didn't need to but being an Apple type never really 
happy unless I break something or screw it up. <ha> Fortunately it 
didn't. Have a look at it. Much nicer and cleaner looking.

Thanks for this, Rod
