==================================================

Attn: 10.4.6 supported, ATA, Nvidia, GMA950 users, 10.4.6 Extensions & OpenGL.framework backed up

to "/backups4.6" for your updating and/or tweaking convenience. remember, most 10.4.6 extensions are

useless for most people, and will only cause heartache.
