Re: [SPAM] Re: no more cume dvd via sndptford?

   The BP can make a phone call to IBM and get the CD's delivered to each
   customer, but you have to bang on them.

     Rob - Fix Central just gave me the Internet Explorer (not responding)
     screen when it hit the java part... (xp pro sp2 w/latest fixes....IE6)
     This is why I don't use fix Central.
     Like I said, they took what I used to do in 45 seconds (Sndptford)
     and have turned it into internet nightmare.
     All sndptford needs is the parm or setting on the system to limit huge
     downloads and get the media.
