Make disk images of your originals before you send them in.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: "For crying out loud, read the freakin' manual."

I think he means make back up images of the FCP Install DIscs you have to send in to Apple to get the 5.1 upgrade. (this is purely a safety issue so you can re-install if Apple doesn't get your upgrade discs back to you in time.) Apple only does the upgrade to 5.1 via mail.....slow media mail, no fedex or ups for tracking. I don't think the new FCP studios sold in the stores have 5.1 Universali them? Also, don't ship in your sound loops or Live type data DVD's. They are not needed. You only need to ship back the install discs.

[Andy Edwards] "no fedex or ups for tracking."

Mine arrived via UPS yesterday. Apparently they have given up on Media Mail. It was an 8-day turnaround.
