No, it's on the 'Net and while I don't allow it to download and install the upgrades automatically, I let it ask me to download and install and then do that when I'm ready which is usually pretty quick, but sometimes may not be for 2-3 months after a patch comes out. I've also gone through all of the services that are started automatically, and shut down stuff that I don't need. I've also manually configured the built in firewall often to the level of "let this file access this tcp port, etc...), and I've got MSE running (that does do auto-update).

The last Mac I bought crapped out after 5 years, with no OS upgrades available. Yes, no longer supported and no available OS. Bricked.

Weird. It actually stopped working? Was it a hardware issue or was it that it tried to install an update that it couldn't support?
