Well Done!

I don't remember if I uninstalled Norton or even had it installed at the
time. However, updating went just fine when I tried it with Norton
uninstalled. Not a single update got caught in a snag, and the bandwith
remained strong after SP2. Updating did seem to stall, however, when I shut
off the broadband connection itself after downloading, during installation.
The next try, I left it on, assuming that housekeeping went on between the
installer and home base; that time it worked fine. Thanks much.
