Re: NEVER do an update while "on battery" - plug that sucker in!

Mac updater reminds you if a restart is needed. It reminds you
you are on battery power. if the battery dies during the
update your laptop may be hosed that's why it "recommends"
you be plugged in. Ignore computer manufacturer recommendations
at your peril.
