Slow day today - Thanks Micro$oft!

I am trying to use the web here at my secret island location, but I am on dial-up. To make things worse, Micro$oft is forcing a new update on me (not SP3 - got that one already) and it is killing my ability to surf and post. I will have to take my laptop into town and find somewhere to download this new critical update more efficiently. That may not be possible until Saturday.
