I was installing the drivers for my colleague’s new Compaq laptop and hell yes, it is painful and wasted me precious hours to figure it out. Google does the help but I wonder if my article can crawl to the top people might spend less time installing driver while more time on drinking with hot chicks. And you all have guessed right, my ultimate goal is to attract the site traffic, then the percentage of hot chicks visiting my site will be increasing and I can have a night out with them as well.

Download Compaq Presario V36xx (AMD) WIndows XP Drivers
Download Compaq Presario V36xx (Intel) WIndows XP Drivers

Note : Some of the V3614AU owners say that they cannot burn DVD using their laptop, if you have this machine would you please test it out on whether you can burn the DVD using the laptop and comment it down?

Update : You can use third party burner software to burn the DVD. It works.

Update : Due to high responses for the driver files, I have to upload the files to some free-upload-site or else I will exceed my monthly bandwidth limit.

Sad but inspiring animation, aren’t all of us … Kiwi?

“Kiwi!” is an animation about a Kiwi - a type of bird that cannot fly, who spends its whole life working towards achieving his dream. The kiwi strived to create the illusion that it was flying over a forest as it soared down through the sky from the top of a cliff. Thus, the kiwi spent what must have been its whole life nailing trees to the side of a cliff. All this, to fulfil its one dream of flying, even though it was technically unable to. There are several powerful messages behind Kiwi, but mainly, it makes you think: no matter how absurd and seemingly out of reach your dreams are, what’s stopping you from achieving them?
