1. As per usual,
the updates required restart. Took nearly an hour to configure and install the updates when I turned the computer on in the morning. Being on dialup I'm used to things happening slowly. But now I click on a page and it takes longer to load than it did when I first got online several years ago. And one of the updates did something that made accessing a couple of websites impossible: now all I get is a color screen with the site's header at the top, the rest never loads.

Hope you're not on dialup, it pretty much sux these days. And updates always make it worse.

2. I usually wait a few days.



I don't update automatically, I wait to see what the consensus is on the latest updates.

6. No, it just took about half an hour for the shit to install
and the computer to shut down that night.

I haven't seen any problems, at all.
