Welp, there seems to be a whole tribe of them. And nearly all of what I know of
their antics is from commentary outside the Glass Teat (which I do not watch).
It does seem to me, though, that they have stretched their 15 minutes of fame
to a ridiculous length. I did note a news blurb yesterday about Kim (the most
well known/notorious of the tribe) who was denied a star on Hollywood's Walk of
Fame. Hell, Lassie has a star there.  Bv)=  http://tinyurl.com/KIM-NO-STAR

The chances of each ticket are the same. If you have not bought a ticket then
your chances of winning are not infinitesimally tiny - they are infinitely
iny.

MY guru has a couple of "magic programs" which download the possible drivers
for any device on your confuser (one program) and then install the correct
driver for that device, hardware configuration, BIOS, etc (second program).
Those programs are still on my laptop and I will fire it up and send you their
names so that you can obtain copies (they're FREEware) if you are serious about
doing this. If, as I did, you leave it to a guru - then I will send you titles
of the sox to pass on if your magician doesn't already have them.

I doubt that. It would present the appearance of their having been wrong. And
Micro$not never admits fault. Like with Vista - a cockroach laden OS if ever
there was one. They never admitted that they had screwed the pooch ... just
rushed W7 out the door. Windows 8 seems to be an attempt to capture some $$$
from the ADHD generation and their obsession with instant gratification.
