	Win Se7en is fantastic in this regard. I think that when a driver is needed,
it connects to the Web and seeks it, I am under the impression that the
"Drivers" folder does not hold that many drivers any more. It saw all my
peripherals. I am glad to be on 7.

	Here on the Thinkpad, I plugged in a Lexmark Z33 and was able to print almost
immediately. Fine printer this is, when I shut down the machine, it also send
an "OFF" signal to the Z33. All printers should be this way to save the jets.
The Epson that we were trying to intall on the Wormy at my BiL's place had not
been used for two years, and the jets are not on the tanks, they are part of
the carrier. I told my BiL to use it as a small anchor. ;-)

	just wrote to Charles that the power that be at Apple might have taken a
tendency to make it so easy to install any device, in a "stupid" way, that when
there is a missing link, it is no fun.

	I like to think that I am the client and the server is the far machine, it
works in my mind even if the terminology is not forward in my mind.
