Service Pack1

[Dan McKavanagh]

Thanks to the Blaster virus, I wiped the hard drive and
re-installed XP. Now I see that there are two service
packs for XP. I've ordered SP1a, but can't get any info
on SP1, other than it is not available for download. Is
the date in SP1 also in SP1a?

If not, I'd like to order it on disk since dowloads in
teh boonies here can slow down to about a 3.6kbps rate.
Normally I hook up at 21k. But my isp shuts me down on
long overnight downloads.

Thanks,
Dan
