You have missed my point of the difference between 15 fixpacks that all =
have to be installed one after the other or one service pack that's a =
cumulative patch and doesn't require previous service packs to be =
installed.

Or did you miss my point? Are you saying the difference was even bigger?

    Funny how things change, isn't it?
