Ouch my head

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

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?

Of course this particular printer is an HP Laserjet 4L, and if you know anything about that printer you won’t be surprised to know that this thing is so old no one remembers buying 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?

    Finally felt well enough today to make the trip out to the Apple Store with Angela to look into getting her eMac. We get there and take a look at the one model of eMac that they have, which was basically what she wanted with some customizations, like upgrading the RAM and installing the Airport…

  • Dell recall

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    So how many of the laptops you support have had their batteries recalled? We have 12 pool laptops and it looks like 6 of them will need to be replaced. Dell’s site reported that it would take about 2 weeks to get the replacements, but I imagine it might really take loner given the size…

    Only because some one asked, let me reiterate that if you look way down there on the bottom left-hand side of the page, you’ll see a link to the Creative Commons. If you follow the link, you can get a look at the simple “licensing” structure I have in place for this blog and what…
