   If set up as I recommended, you should be presented with a list of Important   
   and Optional updates.  You may then choose the ones you want to update, but I   
   take them all so I don't have to depend on M$ or my memory to remind me that   
   something wasn't updated.

   I don't recall if that was one of the things demonstrated, but the color,

   Technology wasn't there.  That's why the Amiga was ahead of its time.

   I can't even draw my own bath.
