Please pass along two items of followup from last week's meeting:
The power supply on the Mac mini is indeed a universal power supply, as I thought. That should mean that given the proper adapters, it should work anywhere in the world.
As some folks had read, Apple is still recommending that users disconnect firewire drives before running the 10.3.8 combo updater. I do not know why and there is no official communication explaining this directive. All I know is there must be a very good reason because the instructions to disconnect the drive are very explicit.
Best to all,
Tim
