Re: How do I make a Service Pack 2 CD-R

A few Security Updates I apply I'm not that silly. But most I saty away
from and use behavior modification instead. When I talk to Microsoft on the
phone it is one of the most enjoyable experiences I have with Software
companies. There seems to be a disconnect between engineers who help ME and
the enmgineers who release this crap oon the public. I understand some
people cannot d/l a file that size. Granted. But just because they can get
something which helps them to avoid that in no way excuses the engineers
from doing their jobs correctly.

Gripe gripe gripe where's it going to get me? Nada. The company is too big
anymore to understand the power of reason. It is they who have resulted in
this Internet fiasco. And they know it. Read the headlines today?
