Dagnabbit!!! Windows and Office will not update!!!! I have

up-to-date XP Pro and Office 2003.... and even the nutty IE 7...

So, how do you install these updates? This is the first time I've had them
fail. Yes, I tried to install with IE 7 (with no-addons) but it needs
Flash... what to do? Use FireFox to install them?... snicker...

I decided to turn off the "Updater" application and "voila!", no more updates
to worry about... so, I guess I have to manually check for updates from now
on... no problem since the auto-upodater is flawed... there are no updates to
download and install.... geesh... much to-do about nothing...

Geniuses with a monopoly... Ma Bell has returned!
