Not in this case, apparently.

Not a very definitive test, Todd.

Of course. That's your bias at work.

My modem doesn't require any additional drivers to be installed, Todd.
It uses the serial port drivers, which are part of the base operating
system.

Still having reading comprehension problems, Todd? I said nothing
about you speaking for me, but rather you speaking for others.

Then why didn't you know it before, Todd? Have you used NT only a
little?
Quote:> Apparently you haven't installed NT lately or just forgot.
Wrong again, Todd. Perhaps you should reread what Jim Frost
wrote.

I'm not surprised.

You don't need to, Todd.

Not much of a challenge, Todd.

Yet that doesn't stop you from making claims about them.
Quote:> For example, PnP in NT.
That's not what I call PnP, Todd.

Then perhaps you should wait for enough days to learn about things
like full window drag before you start making incorrect claims, Todd.
Quote:> You learn more and more (hopefully) as time goes on.
You should learn before you make incorrect claims, Todd.
