Catch-22

[Robin McInnes]

Hi,

Office Update, and something called GDI+ Detection (??) tells me that I
really must install Office XP SP3 as soon as possible.

I visit the Office update site and I am told that the download time on
my 56K connection will be 223 minutes, (experience tells me it is likely
to be longer in the real world).

My ISP only allows a maximum 120 continuous connection.

Is the SP3 update for Office XP available on CD anywhere? I cannot find
how to order one anywhere on the update site?

(I am NOT considering changing my ISP just to solve this conundrum.)
