Since when did computers need drivers?

So I get this call today from my friend who is looking at my computer. He tells me that to finish everything up he need the drivers for all the extra doohikies that are inside. Something about them being attached to the motherboard and that windows dose not recognize them or something.

yecch I am not totally computer illiterate but there are limits to my old person mind when it comes to things like this. Now I know what drivers are so don't even try and I understand that the accessories are not plug and play, it was just so much at once.

Anyway I am going to see if the drivers are at the store and if not then I will have to devote three for four hours trying to find them on the internet.

So I am still out a computer, it is going to be at least a day before I can get it back and if things don't work out I may never get it back. Yeah that is a possibility. If we cannot find the drivers on line the computer is done. So yeah I said it before and I will say it again

"Man I love being a turtle!"

Uh...No .... That was a quote from TMNT, sorry. I meant to say...


"Computers, you can't live with them and you cannot reformat them either."

Anyway I am off to the store.

Excelsior!
