But having no Mac-using friends (at least, none in the Cities), I went to Southdale and the Apple store there. I asked a clerk if I could update my iPod, and she said, sure, go ahead, do anything. So I plug in my iPod into one of the machines and it helpfully synchronizes its music collection to my iPod, deleting the 11GB of music I had on it...! It turned out that to run the updater you needed the root password; one of the clerks did that for me. It was nice to talk to official computer support people who didn't freak out when you mention you use Linux...
