No worries! I hadn't seen it until just now. I read the first paragraph and my first hint that it was an older article was that it said the drivers were released last October, but I knew it was closer to a year ago. Then I saw the date on the article.

Like I said, I'm sure this will still be useful to some people who haven't seen this yet.

I'd like to laugh, but I've done this before.

This was a big deal at the time.
