OMG SP2 is the worst P.O.S. ever released!!!

[[email protected]]

Completely hosed my system, deleted network connections, takes 20
minutes to boot. Absolutely ruined my machine, and from browsing this
NG, thousands of others.

Thanks to the New And Improved Screen Savers for raving about this
P.O.S.

Most people will write an intelligent post requesting help,
not rant on. Here is some help if that is what you are seeking:

Is your hardware and software compatible with SP-2?
Was your computer ready for SP-2?

"Absolutely ruined my machine, and from browsing thisNG, thousands of

Perhaps if you would have browsed this newsgroup before you installed,
you would have prepared your computer and minimized the possibility
for SP-2 problems.
You also could have provided some facts so you possibly could have
been given specific fixes for specific problems.

SP-2 is most likely not the problem for your computer.
