Amir,

For me a driver is a medium power transistor or tube supplying an adequate signal to excite the output stage . Modern times ...

Very nice and useful explanation, many thanks!

Nice job, Amir. Still can't see the word "kernel" without thinking of Orville Reddenbacher..

Yeah, don't want those output stages getting too excited...

As for spelling, let's start with the fourth word in your first sentence. I believe "he" is supposed to be "here."

I am not following you mark. This is the first sentence:

"Hang around people building music servers and computer programmers and sooner or later you hear the term “driver.” What is a driver anyway? To learn that, we need to first look at how computer systems are put together."

The forth word is not "he." Can you please quote the full sentence so that I can fix it? Thanks in advance.

Amir-I'm not even talking about the paper you wrote. Look at what I quoted you saying about the paper.

Oh, I fixed that just now but my request in that regard was for the article. I assume you all are used to my misspellings on this forum .
