I am receiving an AppleScript Error when trying to pull AirPort Extreme Update.

sh: line 2: 1.0*Convert: syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is ".0*Convert") (127)

I do not necessarily need to install this update but the description states.

Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 provides important bug fixes…

I assume that something got garbled somewhere. Seems like it is displaying the wrong description for the update.

Yeah

I didn't mean to come off like I was complaining or anything. I mean I am thankful for people like Zephiroth and the utilities they produce. I have had good luck in the past several weeks thanks to advice from Dies and everyone else on this forum. Thanks to you guys I have my rig almost at 100%. My last stepping stone being the 4GB problem. Im using maxmem to limit and I think tonight Ill try the 64bit adapted ATA/SATA driver fix I have been reading about.

This does happen at times. everything can't always be perfect right..

just remember naquaada's method for installing updates via ASU... This way you can be sure it is the proper update.
