>And XP/2k3 can only take drivers from floppy
What? Last time I had to use a floppy for drivers was 1999! I managed
hundreds of XP desktops and dozens of Win2003 server and never used a floppy
for a driver. One of my 2003 servers did not even have a CD/DVD drive.

Sadly it is still the only way to get some drivers

And XP/2k3 can only take drivers from floppy

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
