I wasn't aware of this update until your message, Jack, but when I clicked onto Software Update, it didn't come up, so I did a MacGoogle Search and it came up in several places. However, when I tried to check it out, the site either didn't exist or an Apple statement said that the 10.2.8 update is "temporarily unavailable". Must be the update needed updating. -- 73 de Fred Stevens K2FRD http://home.stny.rr.com/k2frd/K2FRD.htm
