General software updates

You intrigue me, Alan.

Not as interesting as you think Rik 

Thunderbird has a whole new interface to confuse you ........................and .............................

your favourite chat engine can now be used directly in Thunderbird - how did we ever manage before ?    .................................and.....................................

you can now use built in file-sharing options for delivering large files by email.

And all is good in heaven.


p.s.  I hope you are making progress and Sue is still sane

No and yes, in that order.

iTunes 11 for Windows released.

[Simon]

Thanks Gary.

Cheers. This version is said to be substantially reworked. I hope that it still works

I guess it hasn't fully propagated yet, iTunes is telling me I have the latest version.

[Simon]

It's because you're 'Z'.

ITunes 10.7 is still showing as the most recent on my machine.

Me too.

[Gary]

Seems to be taking a while to propagate for windows then, some have it, or you could download it I suppose http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/?ref=http://itunes.com

[Simon]

Mine hasn't appeared yet either.

[Gary]

Mine hasn't appeared yet either.

Cant you just download it and install over the old version? That's pretty much what the update does anyway.

[Simon]

I've come off the PC now.  Not all that bothered about waiting a few hours for it.

Mine just popped up... the download of course

[Niall]

There seems to be a new version of secunia PSI. So far (after one use) my thoughts are that it's shocking. They've changed the GUI and when I finished a scan it said of my 100 programs that 100 were up to date (I know flash isn't, but forgot to update it) and when I clicked the link in the window to see this list, nothing happened. The program was bad enough to run on low spec PCs before and this will kill them! It's at least 3 times slower than version 2. I think I'll just revert to checking for updates myself.

[Simon]

Can you not go back to version 2?  I don't think I'll bother updating.  The program is as much a curse as a blessing.

[Niall]

On their forums someone complained that their system has the wrong versions on previous downloads. I'll leave it installed for now and wait on an update. If they don't update it I'll just stop using it

[Baz]

Firefox update today to 18.0

[pctech]

Java 7 Update 13 released to address recently discovered flaws so Oracle say.

[Clive]

Already updated!

[Simon]

Thanks Noreen. 

[Glenn]

Firefox 19 is now available
