It was sudden.  There was an unexpected tickling in places I never knew existed.  A brief flush to my cheeks.  An elated sensation that came upon me like a out-of-control freight train.

I’ve had two different clients with the same problem. When they go to launch Excel 2003, a window pops up saying “Preparing to Install…”...
