Steve,
Thank you for the reply. I'll likely go for 1.9.2 to avoid the hassle
of upgrade from an earlier version. I'm having a problem downloading
xcode. As it turned out, we got suckered into an internet-cable
connection in which the internet and two TV boxes split the signlas.
Upgrade to a faster speed will cost extra $13 a month. Don't you just
love them providers, eh?
