Not always.

HotFixes are just that "hot off the press" so they are not part of
Update because they are "install at your own risk" types of things where
you have to be aware of your configuration and version.

You can find the hotfixes at http://support.microsoft.com as links
associated with Q articles.

You can also find them on the ftp.microsoft.com site.

Hi A_Bailo, You told me:

Hmm... nothing about my printer was mentioned there... thanks anyways.
I hope to get my new hard disk today,
....a perfectly clean install is going to be my best bet, I think.

On another note... Ethen and Patinha are getting nasty on my floor again.

Seattle has something called Just_Cause_Eviction,
but it only applies to Month_To_Month contracts,
so, although I won my eviction hearing,
I'm now on a lease which ends January 31st.

My landlord might possibly renew it, come January 20th,
after all, I've lived here for over 5 years, always paying on time,
....so now I'm not taking any visitors other than Ethen, Patinha,
and, to a much lesser extent, Jessica... and I'm hoping they'll lay low for me.

I don't have to pay any rent come January first
because my last month's rent was prepaid,
so, if I do have to move, I'll only be out the deposit, 100 bucks.

I'm surprised you (and they) don't get on Section 8.

Hey, you can always move to Kent...why not get a 3-bedroom...one for
each of you. At $800 total, each of you would have to come up with 200
and change -- which you do already. There's lots of nicer cheap
apartments in and around the sound!

Hi Bailo, You asked me:

I'm the only one paying rent,
Ethen spends thousands on drugs but not a dime on rent,
....it pisses me off. I don't do drugs, as you know.

You asked me: I'm surprised you guys don't get on Section 8.

Maybe I should,
....but it takes years to get and I think I'd have to live in special housing.
