Dr. Dave examines the Windows XP Service Pack 2 release, separating useful security changes from what he sees as industry hype and misinformation. Callers ask about suspicious emails, backing up financial data, replacing an extremely old computer, hard-drive capacity, startup slowdowns and AOL browsing problems. The show also considers parents’ responsibility for children’s technology use, the true cost of upgrading a computer and plans to test cellular equipment in everyday conditions.
