silly things bring silly results.


Yep, I'm not immune
thought I'd look at a short adult clip on the web, well it started out showing the imagery, and then it crashed my computer.

I guess if I want to watch this variety I will simply buy DVD's. I should have known as long time ago these sites would hang up computers and had some script that would make them continue to open the browser each time it is closed.

But, I'll take the computer to the shop, in the big picture its not so bad because I wanted to upgrade the operating system, as well as the ram, and maybe a few more tweaks to the unit. Besides, It's 5 years old system that has been very frustrating lately. I has become not only slow, but has some glitches.

Not only the computer, but the printer, both are hp, for some reason the printer tells me that paper is jammed, but there is no paper jam, and it did this right after I spent $60 for ink.

I will get another printer, but it may not be an HP, I may opt for the
Brother unit that accepts 11x17 paper.

I had this unit that I'm using in another room, besides I have two in the garage that need some work... ( I think I may fix those and give them to the senior citizen complex, I only have to buy screens for them after they are fixed, because the people at the facility like to play the Casino Games, this might be a good thing for them).

I guess in the big picture, I can turn a unfortunate situation into something a bit more positive...

and so goes situation when choices don't always appear to be the best... some can be turned around and made to work ... Good thing this only involved computers.

It's the HP 6450 one of the 6500 series units... I won't buy another like this. It has multiple problem, like the fax will not work if the ink is out, NOT EVEN TO SEND A FAX...
HP has a problem with trying to make too many models. They try to be everything to everyone and as a result they have become less function in many hope printers.
I do have an HP in my office, but the ink cartridges are insanely expensive, and the silly thing was not made with two trays, so I have to switch paper and re-adjust the slide in the tray to use legal paper.

Another one I put in office of the Directors I use to work for, continues to have issues.
We have a Brother hooked up on the network, it works good, but the problem with it, it does not auto sensor the paper size and requires control panel adjustments..

The very large unit we had in the previous work area, which was networked, it was great, everything was selectable from the print menu and it is 'VERY FAST"...
The toner last a very long time.....

I am so tired of people making cheap stuff and marketing it as if its something of quality. I think the best scenario is to find those companies that have a niche and produce a good product and have no interest in making 50 models or drastically changing their core model every year... .

The only way we can counter this madness is to be selective about what we buy, then buy the better quality of a nice niche producer product and be done with it.

I liked it better when I could upgrade and modify my computers myself, these system with the fully integrated board, I think are not that great. before I could have a really good sound card, and other things that I wanted and I could upgrade the unit to meet my aims.

some project I like to work on at home, and I like my presentation to be of excellent quality, including the "paper', I have a wide variety of paper...

But I like the printer to do what it is suppose to do when I want it to do so.
I'm very much agitated with cloggy working technical devices. Its no reason for it, because there is the goods in the market to make thing 'right" by that, I mean provide the quality that goods are advertised.

I will not buy a tablet until I find one that works for me, but since all my stuff is windows based, the tablet needs to be the type that connects to the rest of the lap top and is detachable.

I'm not interested in the nature of game pads, to me those are for the people who have time to play with a entertainment device.
I'm interested in function which produces something that meets the performance results I want in the project development that I'm more motivated to invest my time.

I'm very good at my work, I enjoy to work in a capacity that allows me cross operational platform engagements. Then I have an avenue for collaborative progressive gains in the things which improve operations, performance and efficiency in objectives stages.

I love a good sense of humor, but as to pointless games for the sake of game.. I truly have little interest in that.
When I want something that is free flowing for the simple joy of it, then I can bang on my piano, or such things.

However, I love writing, I could write all day and have been known to do so... I use to write with good pens on good paper, but I use the computer so much to write, that I rarely write by hand except notes and such. but I may get back to writing by hand.

So when it comes to printers, I don't want to trip with it, I simply want it to perform and do so very well.
