I’m grumpy. Despite advice from my readers, I can’t seem to get that danged HP driver to work. It just doesn’t recognise the driver. I wanted to import some Firefox bookmarks from my PC. However when I hooked my old computer back up again to the power line and home network, the mouse device couldn’t …
I only had about 4.5 hours of sleep today, thanks to my new Mac fetish. While I was able to accomplish most of the items on my ‘to-do’ list, I did feel disappointed that I have so far been unable to: Find an OS X driver for my HP LaserJet 1000 series printer. HP only …

Microsoft staffer charged with …

My web host is making some changes to my configuration and I won’t be able to use my usual email account for a while. I’m told the emails may bounce. So please don’t send me anything confidential. If you really need to reach me and you already know my old email address, use the same …
