Ok, got the update.  Since this doesn't have a floppy, I assume I burn 
it to a cd-r & reboot to winblows.  Then what?  Or is it 
self-explanatory once I'm in winblows?  And I don't think I've ever 
setup a mail suck in XP so thats probably not an adequate solution.  I 
am not by choice a winderz user, going straight from amigados-3.9 to 
linux almost a decade ago.  I've also not seen the utility in a usb key 
fob either, till now.  Can a suitable unit be suggested that might be 
available at wally world?
