i know that feeling about eCS... but i'm not sure i really understand about
hunting for drivers... i don't think that i've actually done much of adding
or removing stuff that i had to find drivers for... i used to use the SCSI
port on a soundblaster card but when i swapped out motherboards, the new one
had SCSI built in... then i also had to swap out the video but i used
another ATI card that just happened to use the same drivers as the previous
one... other than that, possibly a NIC at one time or another... actually,
now that i think about it, that NIC is still the original Intel EtherExpress
16 card that i put in the original box back during my DESQview days ;)

but then again, once i got the second machine, the bbs box was basically
nothing more than that... the bbs... all my games and everything else got
moved over to the new box... so i didn't have any more wierdness happening
on the bbs and i wasn't knocking it over like had been being done...
everything got a whole lot stabler...
