At least the AAC portion of Apple's MPEG4...
Or do they already? If so, I see no mention of this anywhere.

I update from the command line when I am remote (like now, when I'm in the office). When I'm at the box, I use the built in panel...
Just trying to be helpful...if it doesn't float your boat, then you, like all, are free to ignore.

My Mac didn't restart. (Score:1)
Now it was very early, so I wasn't too attentive, sorry if it's a little vague
Anyone else experience this? Am I going mad? The Mac seems to be running fine.

I noticed this too. This seems to be a change after upgrading to 10.2.3.
It seems to just drop down to singled user and bounce back up-- apparently a full reboot isn't necessary.

Note this update is ONLY for Macs and ONLY for Mac OS 10.1.5 or higher. The AppleCare docu contains instructions on how to update for OS 9 but I believe thats part of a template that they forgot to remove.
If you are anal and a perfectionist and like to annoy support representatives, contact them using this [apple.com] page. Unfortunately, they don't have direct email, probably because of all the Mac haters
