Walt,
        "3rd Party Accounting Software", hmmm wasn't that the one used
by Enron? Just think of the grief you could have saved them had they had
that patch.

Subject: [OM] Another stupid question

I have rearranged the area that was formerly my home office into what is
now my home playroom.  I have the new super Dell hooked up to two
scanners and three printers, among other goodies.  One of the printers
is a freebie that came with my wife's computer over three years ago and
which hadn't been out of the box until I decided I could use it for
those times when color was more appropriate than B&W from the Kyocera
laser printer, but not worth the waste of ink from the Epson 2200 --
stuff like maps, etc.

Anyway, I decided to check the Epson website today and see if there was
an updated driver for this little toy.  Upon doing so, I found that
there's one from only a couple of weeks ago denominated as "Third Party
Accounting Software Patch," and described thusly: "This self-extracting
file contains the Third Party Print Accounting Software Patch for
Windows XP. This patch improves compatibility with selected third party
print accounting software in Windows XP."

I admit, when it comes to computer stuff, I'm dumber than dirt, but I've
got to ask: What the hell is "third party accounting software," and why
does it need a patch?  Is it leaking air and going flat?  Do I need it?
And if so, what the **** for?
