Now what! It worked a minute ago…
BASIC ELIMINATION FIRST
Is it plugged-in?
You should hear the print mechanism initialize when power is applied and most printers have at least one light illuminated when it is on. If it is plugged into a surge protector, make sure that’s on. See if moving it from the surge protector to a known-good wall outlet helps. (more…)

Every tradesman is expensive…
I don’t know what the going rate is for tradesmen like plumbers, electricians, car mechanics, in 2010. The last time we needed a plumber a couple of years ago, he charged $95 just to visit to assess the problem and provide a quote!

Some mimic actual system notices to leverage the trust you have in your legitimate security software, so you go ahead and click.

Yesterday I lost 5 precious work hours. The first 3 struggling to find a cause why I suddenly couldn’t access Google, rebooting my system a few times, recycling the modem – nothing. Was Google down? (more…)

The other day I heard someone say, “you’re mad if you pay for software, including Windows”.
What! The risk of using counterfeit software is higher than a hippie in a pot plantation. Every year millions of consumers and businesses acquire low cost pirated software unwittingly and end up having a multitude of problems. Like any dodgy product, it can be a serious risk. (more…)
