I'm still waiting
Silly me DL's the update on four computers. One at work (1.8 MHz Pent5 1GB RAM) and three at home - (Celery 1.4 MHz / 758 MB RAM, 2.2 GHz AMD 3400+ / 1.5 GB RAM, 2.0 GHz AMD 3000+) and all four machines basically locked up for five minutes plus. That is ridiculous. What makes it even more disgusting is that none of the security utilities from Norton or McAfee will ignore turning off autoupdates. So, I get nagged to death because I want to decide when to download and decide. And yes, you can set the schedule, but how the blazes does one know what one will be doing at some time in the future? Only fool leaves his PC on 24x7.
