As I've complained recently about it, I've been trying to install some sort of operating system on some sort of computer for some sort of freaking long time with no success. Computers are much smarter than me and enjoy toying with my inferior intellect, the muggaflunkers. Well I have win98 SE "uploaded" on this dusty sack of shit, but I did a "clean install" rather than "upgrade" it or whatever fancy mother fucking potatoe wacking marshmellow stuffing fuck cakes. I look inside the dusty piece of shit, amazingly I have enough technical skill to take the cover off... and sure enough it looks like there is a "modem" in there, boy it sure would be nice to get on the internet to download all the supposed missing "drivers"...I had to look at a picture of a "modem" on ebay to make sure that that "modem" was indeed a "modem" and sure enough it looks pretty damn much like a "modem". But the whore of a computer doesn't know that it has it in it. Fucking complex useless boat ancor. I would drop it off a cliff and buy a new computer instead if I hadn't already tried that alternative with no success. I want to kick it really bad, preferably in the testicles wherever they're installed. Apparently I'm missing "drivers" for everything in the stupid computer. Never do a clean boot, you lose all the "drivers". Without those elusive magical sacks of platypus testicles, you get 16 colors and nothing works. I hate computers.

Get the serial number off the modem and do a search based on that or post it here. Or sell your computer and live like qrter (a girl)

I would really like to get that serial number. I am looking at the modem right now. Unfortunately there is some other piece of complex wirey chip filled green card installed RIGHT above it leaving no room to look at the top of the "modem". I'll be damned if I know how to remove it. Also I got this cool software (freeware) called, um I forget dammit, but it lists EVERYTHING on your computer, like hardware and stuff without using the operating system as a middle man or something. But the only "modemish" thing I could find on the list it printed was "network adapter: dial up adapter (ppp adapter?)".

That's what I should do, just take it to some sort of shop. I wonder where I could take it for such a dumb easy problem (probably easy to someone who knows how to do this). Maybe best buy or comp usa or something...?

Well if that's the modem, that's the only information I got from it, no serial number except for "ppp adapter"... if I can find the driver for this, I have one last resort... (I downloaded "file splitter" or something which chops up big files to fit on floppy disks, so I could download that on this comp and transfer it, but what's the use, it'll never work..)

Ok, ok, I figured it out. What it needed was a live duck. I installed the duck next to the modem.
