I was helping a friend set up her new Intel 17-inch iMac today. Apple
had transferred her dead iBook's hard drive contents to the new machine
and said they would do all the necessary software updates. However, when
I fired it up I noticed it was only up to 10.4.7, and there was a ...

Okay, this is going to sound crazy, as it did to me the first time the
