When will Airport Express go 802.11n?
This update got rid of all the ContentLink and interstitial ads on MDN! Uh, wait a second… dang.

The elastic in the boxers I’m wearing just got snappier.
“Three words – fa – bu – lous!” and “the yet unheard of Zorro snap, in Z formation!”
all clear here. download worked well.
Climate change has been reversed! Thanks, Apple! Been waiting for that fix!
It fixed my FTP problems!!! that’s a huge plus…
I am now getting 28 miles per gallon with my Chevy 5.7 L V8 – since updating…
MDN Magic Word: “per”….
Installed… I’m sure something became “snappier.”
OHMYGOD, after this update I like VAGINAS!
Umm…pass the toilet paper.
Does it convert the previous 100Base-T ethernet model to Gigabit? No? Dang! I’m one of the fools that bought one, grumbling.
I know we joke about this all the time, but my AirDisk truly does seem snappier. I just ran a backup job, and it was much quicker than before with approximately the same average amount of data…

My PSP can now see the base station!!
Installed this update, now I printer is not working. I had to plug it back into the Mac Mini. It broke my network printing.
After update, web pages load faster and iPhone wifi signal more robust.
