• System Profiler 3.5 - The Apple System Profiler (ASP) is a new utility that gathers, summarizes, and delivers key pieces of system configuration information (for example, processor clock speed, disk cache size, non-Apple installed extensions, etc.) needed to effectively and efficiently troubleshoot customers' systems.
• Adobe Acrobat Reader 2.1* - Some documents posted within Apple SW Updates may require the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Adobe Acrobat Reader lets you view and print any Portable Document Format (PDF) file. You'll find several PDF files on your computer's hard disk and on the system software CD that came with your computer. These PDF files contain instructions for using many of the special software programs that came with your computer.

  HTMLer's Note: Apple's servers being very overloaded, I've included the URL to Adobe's Macintosh Acrobat site.
