I will probably also send her flowers.

I bet you don't have the first clue what a "driver" is and how it affects your computer. You don't know the first thing about the driver and your computer even though you spend all day, every day, "working" on your computer, asking it to switch from window to window, pretending to type letters and create spreadsheets when really what you're doing is downloading music or watching those crazy monkeys on Youtube.

Your poor computer just does everything you ask it to do, and tries its hardest, and you don't bother to try to understand IT, do you? You don't pay any attention to it, other than to complain when it's not working properly.

(Note: If you are mentally filling in the word "wife" for "computer," stop reading this and go get marriage counseling. Unless you are Sweetie, in which case, I am VERY sorry and I will try to be a better husband.)

You should know what a driver is, though. A driver is the software that helps your computer understand what it's supposed to be doing -- it takes the instructions the operating system gives it and then makes the hardware do that. A driver makes your storage, printer, monitor, sound and video cards and other hardware do things.

Or "not do" things, if the driver is not working properly or is outdated. If your driver is old or not working properly, your computer slows down or doesn't work at all.

What do you do then? You go to the driver library at Uniblue's Driver-Library. Uniblue has drivers ready for you, free, to download and install and improve your computer's performance.

If it's a Windows driver, Uniblue has it for you -- and not just the driver, but information on which devices they help and how they work -- and not just all that, but also information on how you can figure out which of your drivers aren't doing their jobs right and then how to automatically update your computer.

Learn a little about your computer, and you'll get along better with it. (And the same goes for your wife.) (And, again, Sweetie: Sorry!)
