External Hardware Devices

Last year when Windows Vista was first released to the public, there was a lot of complaints about Vista is not compatible to certain hardware especially older hardware. When I first heard these reports, I went out to test and see what older hardware would work or not work. To my surprise I found more printers, scanners, and other external hardware devices that actually worked.

After my big move, I had lost my drawing pad for my computer. So in a desperate search through Boise Idaho, I had found one. It plugged into the USB port of my work computer. I installed the drivers and it was good to go.

The new one was named Bambo. Because it had several new features I had to sit through the tutorial just to use it. I was pleasantly surprise that Windows Vista came with many new feature which allow me to personally sign my Outlook email.

Bambo pad has built in many regular mouse features. I could almost not use my trackball mouse. In the past 24 hours I have begun to enjoy my Windows Vista computer even more.
