My guess is that you had a Logitech webcam. They were notorious in coming up with crappy drivers for Windoze 95/98. As for DVD drives, they were new in the late 90′s, so I suspected it wasn’t a common bundle back then. I could remember the driver would not recognize the DVDs, recordable or otherwise.

Ah those were the days…

Yeah, it was under 95/98 that I had trouble. I'm trying to remember which drivers I had issues with. I think I had trouble with the webcam and the DVD drive/software... Periapex's last blog post..8 Random Things About Me.

The Tecras are Toshiba’s business laptops. I always have this for my productivity machines ever since the 90′s. I don’t recall upgrading drivers that difficult. Back in the 90′s, we used Windows 95/98/NT which were notoriously kludgy operating systems. With XP it’s much better now, even with the proprietary drivers like the power management software.

I don’t have any experience with MS Vista yet, but I hear that may be a bigger headache than it’s worth.

I like Toshiba's laptops, but still have a bad taste in my mouth from their Tecras in the mid 90's for which I could never find updated drivers. Too much proprietry stuff in them made software upgrading impossible to difficult. Periapex's last blog post..8 Random Things About Me.

It’s just a matter of brand loyalty. I used to buy only Sony TVs, but since they like to overcharge me, I stopped buying and went with Samsung and Mitsubishi. If you’re happy with Sony, then by all means continue with them. I’m happy with my Toshiba laptops, so I’m sticking with Toshiba.
