No, you don't have to do it. The firmware is a EPROM chip, IIRC. (Isn't it like the BIOS chip in a PC?) What I haven't understood is WHY it has to be done at all. I think the iMac is the only system that requires it (I don't have a tower, Ti-book or ibook, so I may be wrong); I never had to do it with any of my previous Macs. It seems that Apple is getting more & more PC-like with patches for this, security updates for that, etc. Sincerely, Dennis -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
