Ok, a friend of mine who I convinced to switch to Apple - an iBook - only had dialup and needs to get all those lovely Apple updates.

Is there a way to get them with my broadband and burn them to a disc for her?

Most of them are available here (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/).

uhh...if it's an iBook why doesnt she just use your broadband connection?

EDIT: Or go somewhere like a Public Library and use their connection (if they allow it)

Work friend who lives a good 2 hours in the opposite direction from me... no easy access to broadband in Sydney for a non-wireless ibook...

you could ask to borrow her ibook, update it, then return it.

Or you can try your luck and make a night out of it :D

By that I mean dinner of course!

Sure. Thats a sound theory. So when you get your next NEW mac book you'll be happy to hand it over for an evening with your administrator password...? ;)

Easy enough to burn and let her update that way.

Good point aswitcher
I for one wouldn't even have given up my crappy ol Windoze laptop - let alone the pride and joy of my life!

Mmmmm note to self - work out if it is strange to talk about my Powerbook like that!?!??!
