[Ham-Computers] Help Aaron Or?

[Gary Pewitt]

Duane, when I had dial up and needed to download the Service pack 2 
for windows XP 64 bit, which is well over 60 megs, I ended up taking 
a USB 2 gig flash card to the public library in our very small town 
of Booneville, Arkansas.  Their computers did not have cd burners but 
did have USB ports.  They had a 1 hour time limit which was just 
enough to download the file from Windows update.
That was the only way I could do it then as the cd's were no longer 
available for sale and it could only be had by downloading.  I had 
taken some blank cd's along and just happened to include the flash 
card in my briefcase.  Call your library and see if you can do it 
there.  Good luck.  73  Gary  N9ZSV
