Well, I spent another Saturday downtown, trying to help Gary get his machine back in order. It kept shutting down on some RPC error, only when he was online. Well, I gave up, bought a new modem for him and put it in the machine. Though the modem functioned a hell of a lot better than his old one, still no dice. So I installed a NIC and got his DSL up and running - in 25 minutes. We still had problems, so it was time to get all the Windows Updates applied. That was the trick.
It's a bright sunny day. Temperatures in the 50's. I would have really wanted to do something else today, but I'm helping out a friend, so that's OK. I spent some time out on their balcony, taking in the view and the "warm" weather. I still need to go back and get his account working on XP - he's using the Admin account. At least I got antivirus software on it, so he shouldn't screw it up too badly.
