Something like an EuroSprinter is probably faster at that. I had a Fiat Spider for a few months. I even got to drive it a few times when it was out of the repair shop. Cute, but I traded it in on a '73 Mustang. I never owned one but I rebuilt the engine on a friend's Alfa. The design was, er, interesting. Different friend and years later but I have a scar or two from an Alfa that went down the road on its roof. A lot of panache, not much durability. Ducatis fall into that class too. Desmodromic valve trains my aching butt. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/jesus-saves-1937-fiat-500-topolino- dragster-was-raced-by-a-chaplain-145323.html American Improved Fiat > Won't Patch Tuesday's bottlenecks be the handling on the server side > (which was rumored to throttle not-the-latest-product versions) and the > processing on the client side (which has been described as not so > efficient (and more complex on systems with WOW64), with some suggested > workarounds involving shutting down the update service and installing > patches directly? The process is designed to be as painful as possible. The download takes a long time regardless of connection speed and then there is the installation, often with a couple of reboots, and inspirational messages like 'Almost There'. Finally it reboots for the last time and you can log in. Not so fast! There's a few more minutes of 'Getting things ready for you' That's if everything goes well and it doesn't stall out. Then you have to stop the updater service, remove the Software directory, and try again. My Ubuntu box just applied updates and I have to reboot. I expect it will take less than 30 seconds, and I was able to get on with life while it was installing the updates. I've never found manually applying the KBs to be any faster. Now that you mention it, only Microsoft would put 64-bit stuff in system32, and 32-bit stuff in WOW64. I think they've improved or at least reduced the confusion but if you want to crease a DSN, both the 32-bit and 64-bit tools are called odbc32 and are in difference directories. Our support people would invariably use the 64-bit version when our software needed the 32-bit connections.
