Defective Products
After yet another bout troubleshooting a HP printer (thank you for all the work you’ve sent me, HP!), I found it delightfully appropriate that these two articles were published today..
Consumer-friendly products suck and post-PC is a fantasy
“While consumers are ready for post-PC, and while vendors are kinda-sorta offering solutions they say are suitable for average consumers, the system is still very flawed.” Read more..
And this guy’s #1 says it all.. 10 things I’ve learned from working in IT
“When you’ve been in IT for awhile, you pick up all sorts of random knowledge. Jack Wallen shares a few highlights from almost 20 years in the field.” Read more..
(And, yes, this is a good read for non-Geeks, too.)

As you know, I was “offline” for a few days. As you can imagine, when I returned I found my Inbox rather .. um, full-er than usual. I had personal and private messages …
and my *favorite* business/website wrote me..
Maybe this is blank because I have never signed up for Facebook?
as well as some other business opportunities …
but better yet, strangers were declaring how much they admire me (and my ego is never bothered by a boost) …
Yes.. it seems I missed out on a lot by not being here to instantly respond to incoming email.. alas and alak.
But, a quick glance tells me I have already received some more interesting mail. So I have to run now, and get to Reply-ing. (Don’t want to miss out on any more opportunities!)

• 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.
