Re: [newbie] Java programming

I usually just buy the books from amazon.com (or any other site that sells books).

Re: [newbie] Win 2000 install.

This questions still isn't answered... you guys are talking about XP/SP2 and the original question was about W2K :-) As far as I know, Windows-update operates through your browser, so as long as you can browse the web and don't have any problems with that, you can still download all the updates fr
