The downloads seem to take forever, the installs seem to take forever, and I know I’m going to have to reboot the computer every time.

(On the other hand, I *do* have relatively fast unmetered Internet, so the ~270MB download isn’t as big a stumbling block as it might be for other users.) It’s when I see that iCloud and iTunes updates are available on other computers I look after that I really start to gnash my teeth and wail. I can handle the ten minutes or so it takes for a full install every couple/few months.
