Actually, Nicky, many M$ users spell it that way as a
comment on the S standing for Money not service.

Many ISPs have a time limit where they will dis-connect

you from the net. Do you have "unlimited net access" or
are you alotted so many hours a month? In the XP
connections wizard, there is a place where you can specify
to keep your net connection alive anytime you start you
computer. NORTON SYSTEM WORKS also has this feature. If
you have a friend with broadband, they can download all of
the updates for you to a CD because broadband really flies
and it would not take forever like a dial up connection.
