Yes, I do read the comments and linked websites

Beagle commented Sunday in the "Zilla my snilla" post about XP Service Pack 2 and it's worth mentioning. It is running on my XP-Pro and XP-Home PCs. Please remember that Internet Explorer is NOT my main avenue to the internet nor is XP the main operating system on this network. Mozilla and Windows 2000 are used at the beach house mainmost machine. After using both flavors of XP and seeing it every day in the field I like to come home and use a stable operating system (flame on my lovelies). Windows 2000 Pro fits that requirement as does FreeBSD and several versions of Linux.

After some review, I agree with Beagle that some of security stuff in SP2 can be downright aggravating. The popup manager is frustrating (it's under the tools setting in the toolbar) and the constant brow beating about automatic updates is almost spyware like. Hell Microsoft, you think we can't figure out this is just another ploy to have our machines report?!?!?!? Should we all choose to do the updates manually? Beagle's wait and see approach is well advised, especially for newbies. Therefore, I recant.

Mississippi Marine is rebuilding their web site in order to provide easier access to their products and services. This revamp is interesting and fun to watch as new information surfaces. Well orchestrated and progressive moves. Lee and the gang, keep up the good work!
