Windows Update

23May07

Consider this scenario involving a geometric sequence. You need to cover the distance from a start to an end. For each leg of the trip you can go exactly half the remaining distance to your destination, no more no less. At first you get halfway there, then 3/4, then 7/8, then 15/16, and so on. Going this way you will get close, but you never quite arrive.

I’m doing a clean install of Windows XP pro SP2. This is what Windows Update is like. I run it, reboot, and go back to find that an update has an update. Rinse and repeat again.

I’m typing this from my Mac since my PC is on its never ending journey to fulfillment, an unreachable nirvana.
