If Microsoft tried to push out a 50 MB Security Update people would go bananas!!!</p>Victor M.J.

My guess is that this is the result of when I took the laptop in for Apple to fix (thanks to my crushing its screen), as they wiped the hard drive. I thought I had done all the necessary updates after that, but it's possible I didn't, or I just haven't been checking, and these piled up. Time to tweak my settings.</p>Louis GrayWed, 30 Apr 2008 10:38:45 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/04/broadband-put-to-test-with-410-mb-of.html#comment-396939<p>Man, Louis, it must have been a while since you've updated! Some of those go back quite a few months, if I'm remembering correctly... do you not have it set up to auto-check?</p>Jarred TaylorWed, 30 Apr 2008 09:37:03 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/04/broadband-put-to-test-with-410-mb-of.html#comment-396456<p>What's also interesting is how many download updates that Apple has issued since the release of Leopard. All that time and effort creating it, and it still needs tweaking. I realize this is the nature of software development but it's still interesting when it comes from Apple.</p>Mark EvansWed, 30 Apr 2008 07:11:25 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/04/broadband-put-to-test-with-410-mb-of.html#comment-396249<p>I never had a Commodore 64, but we did suffer through the 2400 baud modem era. Upgraded to 14.4, 19.2, 28.8, 33.6 and 56k... the whole race that our kids will never know.</p>Louis GrayWed, 30 Apr 2008 04:03:19 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/04/broadband-put-to-test-with-410-mb-of.html#comment-396245<p>It really is quite amazing how far we have come. Storage capacity is far outpacing Moore's Law - the only real shame is that the speed of the network isn't keeping up at all.</p><p>That said, I still fondly remember my first 300 baud modem hooked up to my C64... it was one of those early acoustically couple ones where you put the handset in a cradle with a microphone and speaker...</p>FredericWed, 30 Apr 2008 03:59:23 -0000
