Post XP service pack 2

Hi Everybody!

Just thought I'd mention that my computer finally decided to download service pack 2 during the night.

I had the thing set on auto update since it was released but it only did it now. No idea why it took so long but if you are still in the virtual queue maybe you don't have much longer to wait.

Took about 20 mins to install. Did not mess up my zonealarm firewall as far as I can see but did spot it and therefore not set its own new firewall to on.
E-mail still works. Haven't had time to find out if its broken anything yet.

Cheers

Not sure whether or not Explorer just closes itself and disappears when opening certain sites has anything to do with the sp2 or what.

Anybody else have this happen?
