Default Plug and Play Download Needed

Windows is Plug and Play Software. It was advertised as such ad absurdum.
IIRC, it was on the freakin' cover of Windows 95, at least. Whether or not
it makes LOGICAL sense is irrelevant. End of story.

Having a real identity problem, eh? That's what happens to fakes.

End of thread.

I NEVER said that PnP *wasn't a service*

(although technically I'm not sure you can say it's a service on a
win-9x system like it is on an NT-based system)

I NEVER said that PnP wasn't something that Windows wasn't compatible
with or knew how to handle.

Saying that Windows ITSELF is "PnP" is absurd and is an incorrect use
of the term PnP.

Why are you going to such lengths to defend your cracked
interpretation of the OP's post?

It's OK Gary. It's OK to admit that you made a conceptual mis-reading
of the OP.

No need to dig yourself into an intellectual hole. This isin't a big
deal.

in the 9x days, Windows was tagged with "Plug & Play" all over
the place.


If someone wants to know where they can download Windows 98, don't you
think they'd ask:

I'm looking to download Windows 98SE.


But when someone says this:

I'm looking for the Windows 98SE Plug and Play software.
I need it for my new hardware.


Don't you think they're asking for drivers for their "new" hardware (a
peripheral device of some sort, probably a USB device) that's being
connected to their existing win-98se system?

Don't you think that if someone really was asking for a way to
download Windows itself, that it would be XP they'd be asking for?
Why would anyone with "new" hardware (ie - a new computer) be looking
for Win-98 and not XP?

Oh really?

What exactly does Windows-98 plug into?

If I have win-98, and want to play with it, what do I plug it into so
that I can play with it?

Admit it Gary. You were wrong.

Someone asking for a "plug and play download" isin't asking for a
download link for Windows-98.

It was advertised as such ad absurdum.


So when the OP is asking for a download source for a PnP OS, he's
doing so because he remembers that win-9x was advertized 10+ years ago
as implimenting PnP support?

Isin't that a crazy way to ask "where can I download Windows 98" - if
indeed that's what he wants?

IIRC, it was on the freakin' cover of Windows 95, at least.

No, it's not the end of the story.

Of course it doesn't make sense, because your interpretation of his
request is wrong.

He was not asking where he can obtain Windows-98 via download.

He's asking where he can get PnP drivers for his "new hardware".
Probably a USB device of some sort.

That makes more sense, vs your interpretation of his post.

Look, you really are wrong, mostly because you changed the conversation from
the original, but there's no convincing you of that because you're 98 Guy
and damned stupid. That's why I blocked you a long time ago. You're stupid
and refuse to learn. Please stop your silly tricks of getting around my
block, I really am not posting any further comments to your twisted
bull****.

You don't have the guts or the balls to explain why I'm wrong.

Your gum-flapping so far doesn't cut it.

mostly because you changed the conversation from the original,


Another vacuous, deceptive statement.

The topic has always been whether or not the OP was seeking a download
source for win-98 - OR - a download source for a "PnP" driver.

You moronically think the OP was looking for a download link for
win-98. You came up some half-baked logic to support your argument.

I attacked your attack on the OP, because you're always crusading for
Micro$loth, and you are always defending their psuedo-right to bury
win-98.

You can't engage in a logical argument with me on *anything* because I
blatently ignore Macro$oft's EULA's and I use their products freely,
against the terms of their EULA's, on as many systems as I care to.
And that has you frothing at the mouth, as if your aler-ego was Bill
Gates. The fact that I post Microsoft product keys and that I
advocate everyone to freely obtain and use any Microsoft software just
sends you into a fever, and blinds you and you can't see past that.

You are one strange piece of work Gary.

You're stupid and refuse to learn.


What haven't I learned Gary?

Or are you too chicken-**** to answer that?

I really am not posting any further comments to your twisted
bull****.


You're the one that can't engage in a coherent discussion.

Instead you cry and rant and block.

When you can't reason yourself out of an argument, you attack the
argument itself, and the person at the other end of the argument.

That's what children do Gary. Not cogent, thinking adults.
