I couldn't get the link at Nomadness to work so I d/l the upgrades from the Yahoo JB3 forum.  THe funky thing is when I tried to email the files to myself (I'm at work and my dial-up connection at home is having some issues) the files are listed as possibly corrupted.  Outlook wouldn't even send them.  Has anyone else had this problem?

nomadness.net is a great site.

When you are ready to upgrade use the USB port, not the firewire port

I didn't think firewire was an option unless I had the jack on my tower.

I tried a couple times with the USB port. Couldn't get it to work. Read somewhere to try a USB cord and that worked for me. Try the firewire port but if that fails the USB port is another option.
