Windows Update problem - I can't accept the license

Problem was somewhat remedied by going into my Display properties, and changing the DPI setting from Large (120 dpi) to Normal (90 dpi). While this didn't reveal the buttons entirely, it revealed the top of the buttons, which was enough to enable me to agree to the license. Non-resizable...

Man .... those G5s

Let me guess: you don't use your computer to work for a living, do you? In any event, I was responding to the assertion that one can buy a PC comparable to the G5 for 1/3 of the price. So far, nobody seems to have fallen over themselves in an effort to back this claim up. As for games...

Did you have to pay customs duties and taxes? I see that thinkpaddepot is selling it for US$2700. By my count, that's CAN$3750. Was that how much you paid for it?
