I have workarounds , of course, but that's not the point. As an Applecare Technician I should have access to things like a clean 9.2.2 installer on the fly. Who knows when a CD will become scratched and unusable? That being said, I use my iPod a lot. I have 10.2.6 and 9.2.2. Installed on it and use that for installations. -- Kyle H.
