microsoft service pack 2, you are not as bad as people say, you are much, much worse. to resolve my SP2 issues, my ISP told me to call microsoft. it was a complete W-A-S-T-E of time. i was on hold for over an hr (momentarily wishing don vito corleone were my godfather), and when someone did speak to me, she said it wasnt microsoft's fault that my comp was all messed up -- try my ISP, maybe they could help. GRRRReat.
why do they call it customer service when it's obviously customer disservice? they suck the life force out of you.
we had to transfer all our files to 700 mb disks, then re-install windows xp, programs and drivers. that took more than 10 hrs. i was in a pissy mood by the time i compiled the mp3 files we were going to save (a total of 16 folders and that's just the music lib), i said a prayer to calm my nerves. my prayer was answered the next day, finally, after pestering comcast for almost a week, they agreed to send someone over to check the comp.

the comp's saved and i'm about to write long emails to friends who must think i'm a lousy, stink bomb for not responding within 24 hrs. i just want to warn my dear readers not to try downloading that evil MICROSOFT SERVICE PACK 2 if you dont want to go through the hassle of wiping out all your software (because system restore wouldnt work once you have sp2), buying a 50-pk cd, getting stuck in a rainstorm, then staying for 10 hrs on the comp re-installing and re-uploading. it isnt worth it.

SP2 you owe me $21 for the cd-r, you little sleazeball.
