Update or not?

[sam at wa4phy.net (Sam Drinkard)]

After reading all the problems with the x86-64 update, I'm in a quandry 
as to update this machine or not.  Nothing that I am aware of is broken, 
and at least everything I use works.  This is NOT a production machine, 
but it does have some important software that needs to run twice daily, 
and I sure don't want to break things for that.  If upgrade is not 
necessary, how do I go about turning off that red exclaimation point on 
the upper menu bar?  Just tell it to ignore everything?
