i had a thought late last night and if i have had it then some smarter person than me must have too

the problem is this when you get a new scanner, printer, camera......etc you have to load up new software with th eappropriate driver on to your computer. I think XP must come with half a tonne of drivers you are hardly ever going to use!!

so why not have the driver on the hardware on a memory chip. memory is so cheap these days.

the computer says hello new thing, give us your driver, and now i understand what you are i will let you work!!

thoughts please
