I think system upgrades should always be done manually, since any change could potentially corrupt an otherwise perfectly running machine. Manually, one can do a quick sanity check to make sure the upgrade went okay, and back out if it didn't. IIRC, on Windows machines the default setting is to automatically download and install OS updates, and this has only caused problems for everyone involved. I don't know any moderately competent Windows user who doesn't turn this feature off right away. Thomas -- N.J.
