Julie: Thanks for the tip. It's been ordered. $3.99 for the CD and another $5.00 to ship it sounds like a much better deal to me than spending over 24 hours downloading all that stuff. Back to the OP's question: 400MB of updates sounds kind of high to me -- that's roughly 20 per cent of the base 3 CD distribution. Sigh -- I guess it's time to call the cable guy. -- cmg
