Oh joy. Another update

All these software updates are starting to wear me down. Just when you think you might make the end of the month with enough "broadband" for once you switch on the computer to be greeted with: Click here to download updates.
In June it was the iTunes and iPhone software update. Version 4.0. We duly trotted off to buy more "airtime" on our ADSL line so that I could do the update.
Then Apple released the iPhone 4. After a while, when people started complaining about not being able to make actual phone calls Apple retaliated by saying all their customers were essentially stupid and were holding the phone wrong. Put it between your feet, idiots, then find a tall building, do a headstand on top and make your call. Eventually they admitted they had a problem with the antenna and that it applied to all their phones. Well, actually everyone's phones (which isn't true - Walter has Bob now and Bob shows 3g signal when I can't get any off the iPhone)
So they released a software update to fix the problem (Question: if the antenna is not good enough, how will software fix it?) iPhone 4.0.1
It took me 9 hours plus a trip to buy more ADSL to download that update. I actually think the solution is far, far simpler
When I plugged in my iPhone yesterday a new message popped up: iTunes version 9.2.1.5 is available. Download?
