The internet and cable went out Monday morning. Got it back Tuesday afternoon, and the computer died about 20 minutes later. Got word from the computer shop that a new, better (isn't it always that way) computer would only be about $170 more than fixing the old one. That's cool--but fix the old one, I'm cheap. Computer shop calls back and says the fix is only temp--found another problem. Good grief--do the new one I say. CS calls back--your old printer may not work with the new computer--it may just be too old for new technology. I'll deal with it; you guys are good, make it work I told him. They did; I have new computer; I can print. All is good! Just figured out my ancient scanner won't work with this computer. Computer shop has an adapter that may work--only $40 more. Sometimes I wish I had never heard of computers. But then, I would know you wonderful people. Computer is worth every penny when I think of it that way.
 
Good to see you're back. :thumb: In the long run I'll bet you'll be happier with the new computer.

Personally, I use a scanner so little that I'm not sure it'd be worth $40 to me to get an old one running. My current printer is an all-in-one that has a scanner, but other than using it to make photocopies, the scanner has sat virtually unused.
 
Just bought a scanner, printer, copier/photo copier at Wal Mart. Epson 3052A for $49.99. It was in the wrong stack of sale copiers, electronics guy told me I didn't know what I was talking about so asked him for his name and the asst. name because when I got up front and it rang up $69.99 I wasn't paying that price. A guy behind me heard the exchange so he grabbed one, then the asst. told him I was right and well, I have a new printer. Very happy with it, seems to be user friendly. The 3050 was on sale which is the older version of mine, just doesn't have the flip up screen.
