Well, what can I say.? I was being lazy and did not read the entire tread.
Shame on me... :-)
Anyhoo. please excuse me for this post, in case someone already said it but.
Of those of you who attended Summit, did you notice the video the HP booth
was playing? It was of our friend, Jim K! and every time I turned the
corner or passed by the HP booth there he was staring me square in the eye.
;) :-) :-) :-) hahahaha..

You do not want to remove the new UPD. you can't reinstall it from what
