2-Day Software Updates

I usually get prints made from digital images at the Wal-Mart photo centre. Not only are they cheaper than anywhere else, I have also been happier with the print quality there than at other places (as strange as that may sound).

Last night, I went in to get some prints made, and there was a little sign that said something like,

Due to a Software Update, One-hour
digital print service will be
unavailable until Thurs.

That's interesting. (As you know, I work in the software biz.) I'm not sure how the software provider can get away with that, or how much money it is costing their customer. Maybe the next time we need to provide a software update, I can try telling the customer that their system will be down for two days!
