     With "every few days" actually being *a month* and you only get a   
   "Please wait." message if you're stupid enough not to set your 'Active   
   hours'.   
      
     And "at boot every few days"!? My system is up from one monthly update   
   cycle to the next, no silly business with booting in between.
