I purchased my computer through my school, i don't know how or why the CD wasn't included, but I don't have it. The only thing i can think is that the software should be on the AppleDeveloper'sConnection website, however I have not found it there, or on opendarwin.org, and was even redirected to ... metapkg.org, and a fink website on sourceforge... In any case, if the SDK is my problem, could someone please help me actually find SDK? And by the way, I have found this board to be an incredibly helpful resource for my rather elementary problems, and I keep working harder to solve them on my own, but continue to return here and am very impressed with the response that I get here, so thank you for helping me.
