Ouch my head

Ever hear one of those really high pitched grinding noises? You know the kind that just screams “Metal rubbing against metal” and makes you want to run as far away as possible so the noise will stop making your brain vibrate? It’s really not good when a printer makes that sound, is it?

I think the roller and some other moving parts have just had it. I think we’ll just point this user to one of the network printers for now and look at doing something different. I don’t see much of a point in trying to have a printer tech come and replace those moving parts, do you?

    Interesting observation about using Help by Jensen Harris today: One of the most interesting epiphanies I’ve had over the last few years seems on the surface like a paradox: “help” in Office is mostly used by experts and enthusiasts. How can this be? I think my biased assumption was that experts know how to use…
