yes - and also, my son is building me a new computer, and if the cd comes in
time, I could use it before the system goes online, to protect it from all the
gremlins out there waiting to attack it!!
Sort of the same thing - if I need to re-install the operating system, putting
the cd in, would protect me.
I don't have enough room right now on my hard drive to put it on this computer -
so I need to do some moving things around, re-partitioning the hard drives - and
then, put it on. If the cd comes in time, I would use that instead of
downloading it. I'm on a cable modem, so speed shouldn't be a problem for me
with the download. I do have friends though, that can't even get the normal
updates to download on their dial up connections.

Hi Cris,
What is the reason for ordering the CD, in case you have a crash and need to
install sp2 again?
