Well.............. screwed me up enought tho , I can't enable auto updates not that I liked it anyway but still pisses me off . I'v installed on over 20 computers with different s/n # tho but still the phone is going to ring off the wall.Glad I'm leaving for holidays on Sunday. But still bothers me that my friends and uncle Bobs neighbour's are being inconvinienced.
Wish I could find a way to charge them or something but that would be against my filesharing religion .
Hey in hindsight most were pretty computer illiturate so I'm sure I enabled auto updates. Boy I are so smart !

Good point Ross but I'll stay with Ffox for now ,I'm looking to upgrade my hardeware sometime soon tho and when I do I'll give my white box computer store a valid key , he'll install the o/s with his volume license key and I'm good to go . By that time it will be Vista tho probably who knows ?
I'm not trying to be snotty but will cross that bridge when I get to it. I would rather buy a new computer than pay Microsoft money for a O/S . I'll make sure I get it with my new computer some how.
