8/13    Is there a security patch against the Blaster Worm for NT Workstation?
        All I see on the MS web site are patches for NT Server, NT TSE, and
        versions of 2k / XP / Server 2003, but not NT Workstation.  Thanks.
        \_ yes, just delete winnt/system32/msblaster.exe
           \_ I don't think it's that easy, since that program
              was constantly being called upon by some key in
              the registry. At least in XP it was.
              \_ I don't think NT is vulnerable.  XP != NT.  Try the
                 fixblast.exe from symantec.  I used it last night on
                 my dad's computer successfully.  Firewalls.
                 \_ But the MS web page says NT is affected.  It says the only
                    Windoze not affected is ME.  See http://csua.org/u/3xl
                    \_ I didn't see NT fixes at MS.  Dunno.  Anyway, get the
                       fixblast.exe from symantec, apply patches, and chill.

5/27    Is there any way to get around the WinXP registration requirement,
        besides re-installing every now and then?  Has anyone tried this: set
        the CMOS date to Year 2010 or so, install XP, then set the date back to
        today.  Would that work?
        \_ Why don't you just get the corp edition and enter in a volume
           license key?

10/25   NT was supposed to be much more stable than Win3.x.  Then Win2k was
        supposed to be much more stable than NT.  And now XP is supposed to
        be much more stable than 2k.  Sigh.
        \_ Thing is, Win2k really is more stable than NT. Sure, it locks up
           occassionally, but not the seemingly hourly BSODs in NT
        \_ Also, XP supposedly "does away with the decades-old DOS fundamentals
