I NEVER said that PnP *wasn't a service*
(although technically I'm not sure you can say it's a service on a
win-9x system like it is on an NT-based system)
I NEVER said that PnP wasn't something that Windows wasn't compatible
with or knew how to handle.
Saying that Windows ITSELF is "PnP" is absurd and is an incorrect use
of the term PnP.
Why are you going to such lengths to defend your cracked
interpretation of the OP's post?
It's OK Gary. It's OK to admit that you made a conceptual mis-reading
of the OP.
No need to dig yourself into an intellectual hole. This isin't a big
deal.

If someone wants to know where they can download Windows 98, don't you
think they'd ask:
> I'm looking to download Windows 98SE.
But when someone says this:
> I'm looking for the Windows 98SE Plug and Play software.

Don't you think they're asking for drivers for their "new" hardware (a
peripheral device of some sort, probably a USB device) that's being
connected to their existing win-98se system?
Don't you think that if someone really was asking for a way to
download Windows itself, that it would be XP they'd be asking for?
Why would anyone with "new" hardware (ie - a new computer) be looking
for Win-98 and not XP?

Windows is Plug and Play Software. It was advertised as such ad absurdum.
IIRC, it was on the freakin' cover of Windows 95, at least. Whether or not
it makes LOGICAL sense is irrelevant. End of story.
Having a real identity problem, eh? That's what happens to fakes.

Oh really?
What exactly does Windows-98 plug into?
If I have win-98, and want to play with it, what do I plug it into so
that I can play with it?
Admit it Gary. You were wrong.
Someone asking for a "plug and play download" isin't asking for a
download link for Windows-98.
> It was advertised as such ad absurdum.
So when the OP is asking for a download source for a PnP OS, he's
doing so because he remembers that win-9x was advertized 10+ years ago
as implimenting PnP support?
Isin't that a crazy way to ask "where can I download Windows 98" - if
indeed that's what he wants?

No, it's not the end of the story.
Of course it doesn't make sense, because your interpretation of his
request is wrong.
He was not asking where he can obtain Windows-98 via download.
He's asking where he can get PnP drivers for his "new hardware".
Probably a USB device of some sort.
That makes more sense, vs your interpretation of his post.

Look, you really are wrong, mostly because you changed the conversation from
the original, but there's no convincing you of that because you're 98 Guy
and damned stupid. That's why I blocked you a long time ago. You're stupid
and refuse to learn. Please stop your silly tricks of getting around my
block, I really am not posting any further comments to your twisted
bullshit.
