I believe that it is good to hear at least some good news in here about sp2.
Especially for those who could be reading these posts and are very afraid to
download it because of all the troubles people have had. (I for one was one
of those people who were very afraid to download it) We need good points
about sp2 as well as the bad points. I agree that maybe this orignal post
should have been re phrased a bit. It was a little thoughtless of a remark,
hower... I do believe that it does --do people some good to know that there
are some people out there who didn't have any problems with sp2. I've got
friends and family who's pcs I work on, who are so afraid to get sp2 it's
not even funny. And yes; they should be a bit "leery" from all the talk of
how some people has had nothing but troubles with downloading it, or
installing it, or just had troubles after the install. But the good should
also be told so these people aren't so afraid. I do feel for those out there
who have had problems with it or still are having problems with it and I
will try to help if and whenever I can. Serenity~
