Mac Security: MOSX 10.4.9, Security Update 003, iPhoto 6.0.6

This is so kewl. Apple has gotten serious (with a bit of nudging)
about patching vulnerabilities and just posted the biggest list
of security vulnerability fixes in its history.

Links to read about the updates are below. My friend Jesper just
installed them with no problems resulting. But you might want to
hang on a day or two until MacFixIt have collected user
experience reports.

Remember that most problems people have when installing updates
are due to pre-existing problems on their computers. Therefore,
be sure to repair your boot drive and repair your permissions
before installation. It is a good idea to repair permissions
AFTER installation as well.


Here is where you can read about and find links to the updates:

Frederick Brooks: I happily use a Macintosh. It's not been
equalled for ease of use, and I want my computer to be a tool,
not a challenge.
