• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

They dropped Illinois a few months back, which included me. Illinois citizens make less income, state gets less money and no increase in sales tax. Lose-lose situation.
Illinois now has a lawsuit against it for the law. http://www.404techsupport.com/2011/06/17/state-illinois-sued-amazon-tax-law/
Are you an Amazon Associate, Paul, and were you affected by this?

Jason,
No I am not, and so I wasn’t.
But I am a life-long Kallyfornyan and I have been watching the *politicians* chase business and taxpayers away from this state for a long long time now.
(Every now and again, Kallyfornyans gain some backbone and fight back — term limits and Prop 13, for example.)
How do you bankrupt the world’s 6th largest economy? We do it year after year after year…
After year after year..
(And we don’t do it by filling our potholes or widening our over-crowded road system..)
