OS X's software update hasn't had any firmware updates to my knowledge. In OS 9, however, several of the firmware updates were made available via Software Update. The gotcha is that they still required human intervention; it'll restart the computer and pop up the instructions, which you still had to follow to do the install. So... yeah, Software update will do your firmware updates, but it still requires wetware to complete. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
