He still posts over in the 930 section of Pelican. If you send him a PM he will probably respond.

This laptop is the same OS and I have kept up with it and don't have those issues. When will it end? YIKES!!

Sounds like what I had to go through a few months ago. Took longer to install the updates than it did to wipe the hard drive clean back to factory settings. The laptop was bought pre-service pack 2 so it had to install that along with about 200 other updates. After hours of updating I saw that there were about 30 more updates.
I turn off the automatic updates and only install the important ones. I only check for them when the little shut-down icon says there are important ones available. I have not updated in quite a while. I think I have only updated twice since the reset.

He accepted an invite to dinner at my house Sunday night. I think I will grill some steaks and we can drink some beer, burp & fart and tell dirty jokes. It should be fun. He has been a mentor on many projects of mine of the years. He is a real Renaissance man. When I get stumped on a household project I usually call him for advice.

I just don't understand why people do that. You would think they could tell it was not working out earlier - like a couple years. But 30? I guess they stayed together for the benefit of the kids? But that can still lead to tension in the household that is not good for them.
