Can you believe it? With all the WinDunces out there who criticize Apple and its products without any knowledge of the subject they're talking about (I won't mention any names ;)), it's quite refreshing and informative... and VERY in-depth! Positive, negative, or indifferent, it nice to see an objective approach.

I wince every time i read an article about macs. There's an article about OSX that says its auto-update feature "only lets you update once a week, leaving users without the latest patches for a whole week"... Gah! WTF? if you're gonna write an article on something, at least take the time to educate yourself. :o

You've GOT to be kidding, right? Come on, that's really funny. ANYBODY who's ever used Software Update knows there's a big button that says Update Now.

You ARE kidding, right?:eek:

Gandalf,
In SU there is a "Make Inactive" menu item under one of the menus. Click on the printer update you don't want and make it inactive, it dissapears.

It's Cool!
