Heh. With XPSP2, it constantly is pestering you to turn on the
automatic updates "feature". Eventually you're thinking "Okay!
I'll turn on the @!$$!%@%!@ automatic updates! Just to shut
you $@#%@#%ing thing the $$% up!". ;)

Y'know, I'm rethinking going back to XP from 2K Pro when I wipe
C: on this box. Went from 98SE to XP, had a 15gig drive die
and all I had was a 6gig so I put 2K on that and lived with it
until my warranty replacement on the 15gig came back. Then I
just used Partition Magic to copy 2K to the new drive and I've
been on that install ever since and moved it a time or two to
bigger drives. (But that doesn't beat my moving a Win95a install
from system to system at least 5 times before something went
so wrong that it'd crash just by clicking on any three files
or folders in Explorer. ANY three! 1, 2, 3, CRASH!)
