I couldn't use my networked LASER printer after a brief power

IT dept gave up on wireless network printer (Brother HL-5370DW)
and ran cable - no more problems.


I only use wireless, where I can't run a cable.

network cable option any more - - -


Not a problem, so far. I even connect my Internet radio with Cat5.

I do use a 10"tablet to watch TV at times, but there is nothing on
it worth trying to hack. I put it o a stand, on top of my computer. It
is just below line of sight of the main 24" monitor.
Largest monitor I've found on Saturday mornings so far is a 22" DELL
for ten Loonies - gal bought it to use with her netbook the week
before the netbook died!


I bought a pair of new Dell 24" monitors on Ebay a couple years ago,
for$100 each, delivered. They have HDMI inputs, so I can use them with a
KODI set top box to watch streaming video. They have three different
video inputs, so I can just connect a computer and turn it on without
unhooking anything else. I have three 24" monitors on my desk, along
with six computers and a set top box. That leaves me a spare VGA input
to work on computers.

The other 24" monitors are used Insignia.



IT Dept. downstars has a setup with six 22" monitors fed by four top
end lease returns plus an assortment smaller ones to fill in the
crners of the wrap around configuration including one monitoring the
Puppy bed outside his door. Then there ar monitors for the Windoze
machine, Test bed, etc. etc. It looks a lot like mission control. He
has a master switch for when he intends to sleep.
