i'm a tester... i have lots of machines in my office and each one has several partitions... i don't constantly reboot to all the different partitions, but not too unfrequently either. so today i rebooted to a 10.3.2 partition on a machine and low and behold tons of updates... i guess it's good now it tells me when I need to update rather than making me responsible for seeing when a new update is out... but wow... and i'm such the non discerning user i just allow it to install whatever it thinks is necessary. i think given what i'm going to study this fall I should perhaps be a little more wary. the one thing i don't understand is why does it sometimes suggest for me to get updates on things that i don't own? really what is that update going to do? reminds me of corky and his turd files.. (only Rice CS ppl who took programming languages will understand that reference.). looks like this update is going to take a while... might as well move on to something else.
