Hi!!

Service Pack 2 is a huge leap forward in safe and secure computing.
Microsoft is delivering SP2 over the Internet with Automatic Updates, the
first time this has been done with a service pack.

But now, if you’ve been updating your computer regularly during the past
year, and if you’re downloading the Express Install version of SP2, there’s
no reason you can’t download SP2 over dial-up. It may take a long time,
especially if you only connect to the Internet for a little while each day.
But it may be more convenient than finding a broadband connection to use, or
ordering the Service Pack 2 CD from Microsoft.

For me, installing SP2--including time for a backup in case I needed to
restore my computer to its previous configuration-took me about half an hour.
