I'd forgotten how much fun it is doing Windows updates. Currently at 22 of 37 updates. I'm trying to get my old Windows box in shape for Bruce & Lisa and besides having to figure out how to get rid of Linux on the machine, I'm also running all the updates/patches/etc so they won't have to on the dialup internet they get to use in the 'country'.
The main problem I've run across is that I don't have a modem. Nor does the old, old other computer that I used to use. So now I'm faced with having to go buy a modem in 2005! Crazy. Anyone have a PCI modem that they don't use anymore and want to donate to a good cause? (i.e. getting Keli, their daughter, onto MSN messenger)
I've also now got copies of Battlefield: 1942 and Battlefield: Vietnam that I'm guessing they won't be needing - first $5 takes each one or I'll trade for a working modem. :)

That'd be sweet. Just the modem is fine - except that it might be an ISA modem instead of a PCI version. I can't remember and easy way to say what the difference would be. But bring it either way and I'll give it a try.
