Now, I got 4 systems running SP2.

Sys1 P4 2.4C @3.24
Sys2 P4 2.8C @3.43
Sys3 AXP 2600+ @2.5
Sys4 AXP 1700+ @2.1

Unless you turn off auto update in your SP1, it will drive you nuts as it did to me. So far, no prolbem yet.

Oh, there are 6 traffic lights from my house to my brother's, 17 miles away or 27.4 k/m. Good distance for bike ride in round trip.

Sandra takes forever to load after SP2 in P4 systems only; not AXP. Damn if I know the reason.

Did Microsoft get money from Ebay for putting a link to www.ebay.com and a small logo at the top of each IE window? (next to messenger logo)

That I'm not certain. One thing I'm certain is Ebay is a public traded company in NY Stock Exchange; having worked for two public traded companies, I know they don't do anything for anybody that does't impact revenue positively.

Ebay gets paid either way; cash, royalty, services, exchange data or whatever.

Reloaded latest ATI driver, couldn't run 3DMark2001se.... took me over two hours to figure out the reason behind...........

Guess what? Win SP2 security. To open the program I have to right click the mouse, and sign on user ID and password.

What I don't understand is that 3DMark03 runs without this procedure.
