2.0.0.2 is also available on the http://www.mozilla.com web site. I
wonder why it isn't available via auto update.

Never mind answering that. I misread the message. A good night's sleep
should fix it.

A good night's sleep can fix a /lot/ of things. . . . ;-)

I'm staying in and drinking. 1,000 miles to drive tomorrow and I've got
the flu. The friend I'm going to visit (to set up their LAN in their
new house) said: "Oh, if you feel well enough come ahead. I've bought
surgical masks and Lysol spray!" Sheesh. Although, she did say she'd
laid in a bottle of Makers Mark. LOL.

Against the flu, there's (IMHO) nothing like warm clothing (or warm bedcovers)
and hot tea with honey and lemon. Your temperature may raise a few degrees,
and you may sweat some, but that's part of the body's defenses against the virus.

Hope you get better soon.


Best regards,
Tony.

Thanks, Tony. The rest and "sweat it out" technique does work.
Although, I hate tea. So drink bourbon. In my Starbucks Triple Grande
Latte. I may still be sick but I just don't care.

Actually, on a serious note, some of the anti-viral over-the-counter
(and prescription) meds do seem to work. I've tried Zicam, and Tamiflu
is highly recommended. Doesn't "cure" anything but it does mitigate the
symptoms. When I felt this coming on two days ago I thought: "Oh, God!
I gotta drive to Austin in two days!" I just knew from the feeling
that it would be a week-long agony. But the Zicam seems to be making it
very tolerable. YMMV. (and if not, the bourbon will enable you to not
care)

Well, I got an email from Chris that this is off-topic, that I should
not post such things here. So, following my reply to Chris, I am
unsubscribing to all Mozilla groups. Enjoy the Brave New World.

A 3 200 km round-trip for a bottle of Makers' Mark? -- *Sucka!*

At least get her to commit to a bottle of Uigeadail or a good Glenrothes or
something. . . .

Glühwein, mate; Glühwein. . . .

case. . . . :-P )

Ed,
I have only one thing to say about a person who would drive 1000
miles with the flu to help a friend set up her LAN. NUT!
The LAN can wait until you feel better. Are we talking round trip, or
one way distance? If one way, she must be one HELL of a good friend!

Please forgo the bourbon while driving!
Better to feel bad, and get there.

My fault, Ed, I started it. (For some reason I didn't get any email warning
though :-? ). Please don't unsubscribe; but I guess such off-topic
conversation ought to be moved to some other group, so I'm setting followups.
(No answer _necessary_; it's "just in case".)

Best regards,
Tony.
