I seem to remember back in those days that it was hard to upgrade
with the CD method. I may have not known what i was doing, but i
never figured out how to download all the upgrades: the microsoft
website insisted on checking to see what i needed, which didn't help
when i was using someone else's computer to download.
If they still have that crappy setup, an option would be to
take the computer to a friend with broadband and a hardware
firewall (ie a router) and do the upgrades that way.
