Heh, got a colleague to load Office 2000 on his Win2K machine last
week: "OK, here's the CDs for O2K and SP2. ... Now you've loaded them, go
to the Windows Update site..." I _was_ going to say, "because that's
where I know there's a link to Office Update and SP3", but he got in
before me and started WinUpdate. He was very quiet for the rest of the
afternoon, rebooting interminably (Win2K is _slow_ to boot!) until finally
I could point him to the Office update. :-)
