Pangea Day Last Saturday
I'm sooo sorry that I
didn't schedule this sooner so that more people could take advantage of
it. Over 30 of us shared a great afternoon watching this event in
the SIG room. While it was thrown together at the last minute,
Suzanne Gregoire, Gina & Aldo Lovosolo, Marianne Ryan, Carol King, and Pat
Doubleday all helped out and made it comfortable for us. Several
people brought covered dishes and desserts. I'm sure I've forgotten
others, but thanks to all. The show was excellent! You can
watch the films and more at their website:

WinXP Service Pack
3 (SP3) is having some problems
I would recommend that you do
not install it until the situaltion stabilizes. Too many people have
reprted serious problems with this update. Unfortunately, if you
have Automatic Updates turned on (which so many of us recommend), it gets
installed automatically as a Critical Update. You may want to
consider turning off automatic updates (look at the Security Control
Panel).
