HELP, I am in trouble !!

I am using a Dell machine, which runs a legal copy of
Windows XP.

For years the Windows updates came in automatically. I
didn't have to worry about anything.

Then, since June this year, I noticed that there wasn't any
more of those "balloons" telling me of the windows update.

You don't need any updates. All they do is screw up your
system and create 3 new problems for every one they "fix".
Don't use Internet Explorer or MS Office and you don't need
ANY updates for ANYTHING.

What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your
loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must
be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and
every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to
you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will
again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!'
Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse
that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything
more divine'?
