Hello again, Kyle here and during the week I had a problem where my printer didn't work and was ready to throw the printer out and go out and buy a new printer, when I called a friend of mine who told me before throwing out the printer try and download and install a upgrade of the printer driver. After downloading the driver the printer worked better then when I got the printer. So this week I will listing some sites that I found some driver of various peripherals.
Here is a site that I found that was a little complicated to understand but found some drivers that was I thought obsolete and could not be located.
About.com
Here is a site that I found my driver and I thought that easy to use and gave very good instruction on how to install the driver and make sure that it ran good. Another thing I found that this site was that it had other good downloads mp3, web developer tool, and games.
Download.com
Here is a site that I found that might be usefull if you are a Linux user and don't how to install drivers in an Linux enviroment.

This is by no means all of the sites that contain drivers and applications, This is just a very small amount and you can spends days just going through verious sites for finding obsolete drivers. I hope these three sites can help you with your problem like it did for me.
Finally here is a site that I though was very entertaining but has no usefull information other than amusement.

Well it has begun. The war has begun and the US military is now going into Iraq and it seems like so far they are going all the way to Bagdad with little or no resistance. I hope that is how this whole war ends up.
Here is a site that I found pretty good at reporting the war.
REUTERS
Now that the war has begun you are probably bombarded with images of how the war is being waged and the types of weapons being used.
The most famous of the weapons is the Tomahawk Cruise Missile, well here is a site on one of the versions of the Tomahawk cruise missile.
UNITED STATES NAVY FACTS
Another weapon that is gaining popularity is the US Army's main battle tank the M1A1 Abrams main battle tank. Here is a site that has the facts on the Abrams, but be warned that this site I think is a little too detailed and terminologies to complicated.
Military Analysis Network
Here is another weapon that boggles the mind at what else the military people can think of. Here is a weapon that can inflict damage on not buildings or people but the country's electrical infrastructure and it's computer networks.
This weapon is called the E-Bomb. A bomb, when detonated, creates a powerful EMP or Electromagnetic Pulse this pulse overloads electrical gids and massively damage sensitive electrical components likes computer chips.
