My one client who ran into this problem called this morning to advise the
EULA display problem went away. He is not certain if it is because the date
changed, or if it because he did a full shutdown on the PC last night. I
told him it was Gremlins <g>. So, who knows what is really going on.
I suppose it is time for me to go ahead and build yet another PC and install
WinXP (from the MSDN Universal package of course) and get familiar with it.
Just what I need, another PC out here! I am already turning a 2nd bedroom
into a 2nd computer room so I can move some Servers out of my primary
computer room/office and take off some significant heat load. Nature hates
a vacuum, and since the 2nd computer room has lots of space the gods are
looking to help me find something to do with it! Just a few more PCs and I
will need to have our electric utility company run a higher capacity feed to
our home <vbg>.
