Bit of a Random Question re: 3.0.3 Firmware

Hello:

New to the forum and have been searching for additional information about the 3.0.3 firmware and haven't found anything that answers my concern...

I'm on a very old Mac (pre-Intel processor) and tried updating the firmware which appears to have been successful, I think. But....does anyone else's bottom right hand corner look like the attached?

I wasn't sure if I had installed the firmware correctly because I wasn't able to follow the directions listed on the amazon website (it said that there would be an option to update kindle...but mine was still greyed out).

Any information would be helpful. The steps I took to update the firmware were:
1. Prior to the update my kindle version said 0 which I thought was kind of weird.
2. Went to the Amazon website
3. downloaded the bin file to my desktop...I sort of had my head up my @ss because at this point the directions state that your kindle should not yet be plugged into the USB. Mine was already plugged in.
4. I unplugged the kindle--without having transferred the file.
5. The bottom right corner appeared as attached.
6. Plugged the kindle back into the USB.
7. Transferred in the bin file to the Kindle..not to any folder, the kindle "drive" mounted to my desktop.
8. unplugged the kindle
9. bottom right corner remained as photo attached.
10. option to update kindle was still greyed out.
11. So from the menu in settings, restarted the kindle.
12. bottom right corner remained unchanged as photo attached.

So...something a little weird going on...or was this actually a successful firmware update?

Again, any insights would be much appreciated.
Thanks much,
NC
