Jerry, what is an external firewire drive? I already downloaded that update yesterday ( it comes up automatically), and why would an uneven number make any difference? Or are you just joking like Lee on April1? -I have never known anything about my firewire, it only tells me that I have a firewire running when I do my iTunes and therefore can't share them.( Who would?) I could turn this announcement off, but I like to be reminded of this firewire business, so that some day I would ask about it. And the day is now. Palm errata!! Wow, now we are going into Latin, how glorious! BTW- this iSight update i did not do. I doubt that i want to see anybody anyway as I sit in front of this computer before breakfast.
