: Don't run XP here any longer, but it seems to me that if you already
: have XP on the machine that you should be able to download the SP3
: directly from MS by using Windows Update (that's how I did it in the
past).

Hoping for a disk, so when I re-install XP thirty years from now on a stand
alone computer 700 miles form the nearest phone line I can have all the 
updates as well!

In the meantime, I am on 30-40K dialup and don't have the hours or datarate
from my ISP to dowload even 10% of what's on the average CD.  32 fiber optic
trunks 3/4 mile away and highspeed in only a few cities in the entire state.
Go figure!
