You all are a bunch of prudes.

First of all any box that shipped with ME is fairly recent. Most
likely not even 4 years old yet. Many may think that is ancient in
computer world (it is) but in reality its not. The poster asked a
fairly dumb question. Most devices that were built and sold with ME
drivers generally have 2k drivers (its the same era). The poster
should check the manufactures website (or even the origional CD).

Now if this person has a printer that she had since windows for
workgroups I can see where there might be an issue.

Spontainous reboots. Very well could be ME - Worst OS EVER!

Well, well, well. Didn't you call me an "ignorant ****" a couple months ago
for espousing the exact same opinion? "The relative quality of the OS is a
non-issue", isn't it?
