    There were also six for w2k users. Perhaps we should all where eye patches on patch Wednesday. This bulk patching is a tedious thing if you just have dialup. It took me an hour and the connection was dropped twice. Some of the patches were just excuses to download even more stuff.
    Expect the microsoft servers to struggle once the USA wakes up.
