Microsoft is offering to mail out free security update CDs for most versions of Windows (Win98 and above) to anyone who fills in an online form at its website. Microsoft will send one CD to each address you enter into the form completely free — there is no shipping surcharge. The CDs include all the security updates to Microsoft operating systems released up to October 2003 and information to help you protect your PC. In addition, you will also receive a free antivirus and firewall trial software CD. http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/cd/order.asp
If you have a cable modem, you could just d-load all of them a lot quicker than waiting for the cd in the mail to come.
Some people don't have high speed internet. It could also come in handy if you decide to reinstall windows on a machine without internet access. This is a good thing. Don't knock it.
You just watch Old School? To fadeaway..... (you were the thread starter right?....) THanks for the link, that is cool.
Not knocking it, thats why I said if you had a cable modem it would go faster, I know not everyone has cable, I actually have a few friends still on dial up.
