    That may be more difficult... and I don't believe Trump ever promised that (correct me if I am wrong).

    I'd be happy about the US dropping charges against Assange, too.

      All the more reason to double down on the open web.

    I am working with a customer who is wanting to replace a laptop that isn't performing as well as it should with a desktop. I think that's a good idea.

    He wanted to go with a new machine instead of refurbished. Most of what I sell is refurbished, so I don't often work with brand new machines.

    I recommended a Lenovo ThinkCentre M75s Gen 5. It'll be the first AM5 platform machine I've sold.

    Agreed. Thankfully, it looks like she's found another solution in just getting a whole replacement system, both PC and printer from someone else.

    I think some of this was a failure to communicate. I do not think she really knows what she wants. I called her back again and she said that she knows someone else who could get her a whole system with a printer instead of just a printer. She didn't say if that was also Windows 98... but I doubt it.

    When she talked with me before she was adamant about continuing to use Windows 98, but I'm guessing that sentiment has softened due to her being without a working printer at home for so long (since last summer).

    A printer server, or network printer would be a good solution... but it is for an older, probably technically challenged, woman who just wants a printer to work with her Windows 98 computer.

    I'm not close to her location, so I probably wouldn't be able to go onsite to set up.

    Every once in a while I get odd requests like this.

    A network printer with postscript would probably be best, if the client was closer and I could just stop by and set it up for her.

    Thanks Jeff. I agree with the sentiment... except the part where you attack me for being part of the problem.

    I understand, though. In supporting proprietary software and hardware AT ALL, I am part of the problem in a small way.

    It is for a customer who has very little clue of what she wants, other than she wants to keep using a Windows 98 computer and have a printer for it.

    I think it is kind of a ridiculous request, but I'll at least look into it and see if I can give her any recommendations or help.

    I also really like Brother laser printers. Unlikely that one will work with Windows 98, but I haven't done much research on it yet.

    I'm thinking that a LaserJet 4, 5, or 6 with parallel port may be a good fit. May be difficult to find and test, though.

    Got a Retro Computing question:

    Do you have a recommendation for a printer that would reliably work with Windows 98? Grey-scale laser printer is okay.

    The Protege Effect:

    You can learn more about something by teaching what you do know on that topic to others.

    This has the effect of you deepening your knowledge of the topic, as you confirm your knowledge by having to explain and answer questions (sometime having to find the answer if you don't already know).

    Not sure how this would be calculated, but the general sentiment makes sense.

    We burn wood to heat our home and it takes just a tiny amount, in comparison, to heat our home all winter.

    This laptop I am testing for a customer is truly terrible. I recommend that they not put any money into it. Slow and laggy even with Linux Mint.

    Usually I like AMD, but the E1-6010 CPUs in these cheap HP laptops were so weak that they were never a good deal, no matter how cheap the sales price.

    Hey Jeff. I do agree that there are solutions if people would use them, especially #monero.

    so many people seem to put more effort into rationalising why they don’t need to know something than just learning things
