| Kilos | ai! | 19:19 |
| superfly | Kilos: this is why I never install that OS | 19:19 |
| Kilos | its an old lady superfly | 19:19 |
| superfly | Kilos: huh? you should never have to pay for drivers | 19:19 |

| Kilos | sigh | 19:23 |
| superfly | Kilos: does XP have a device manager? | 19:24 |
| Kilos | yes | 19:24 |
| superfly | so open device manager and find out what devices you need drivers for | 19:25 |
| superfly | Kilos: are you looking for audio drivers? | 19:25 |

| Maaz | Kilos: Got it, I'll tell magespawn on freenode | 20:35 |
| paddatrapper | They have definitely ended XP support,even Microsoft has | 20:37 |
| Kilos | but they should still supply the drivers the swines | 20:38 |
| Kilos | not everyone can afford modern pcs | 20:38 |
| paddatrapper | But older pcs work with Linux much better than they do with Windows | 20:45 |
| Kilos | nope not with 128m ram | 21:08 |
| Kilos | xp was light | 21:08 |
| Kilos | but ill try running kde live and see | 21:08 |
| Kilos | i couldnt install unity with less than 640m ram | 21:09 |
| Kilos | but that was on different pc so who knows | 21:09 |
| Kilos | ai! | 21:22 |
| paddatrapper | Kilos: oh wow. didn't realise it has THAT little RAM | 21:24 |
| Kilos | yeah | 21:25 |
| Kilos | hehe | 21:25 |
| Kilos | xp is very ram thrifty | 21:25 |
| paddatrapper | hehe. yeah | 21:25 |

| Kilos | for some reason charger stopped working | 21:25 |
| Kilos | so lappy died | 21:26 |
| paddatrapper | Eish | 21:26 |
| Kilos | battery only lasts 2 minutes | 21:26 |
| paddatrapper | That's a pain... | 21:26 |
| Kilos | yeah but they cost R1480 here | 21:26 |
| paddatrapper | that's crazy! | 21:27 |
| paddatrapper | Half the cost of a new laptop (roughly) | 21:27 |
| Kilos | yip lenovo dont play in za | 21:27 |
| Kilos | they $45 in aus | 21:27 |
| paddatrapper | You'll have to grab one when you eventually get over there | 21:28 |
| Kilos | that is the plan yes | 21:28 |
| Kilos | maybe modify my large power supply that i built to charge car batteries and run other 1v stuff so it can supply 19v | 21:29 |
| Kilos | 12v | 21:30 |
| paddatrapper | Yeah | 21:33 |
