Another Winner From Elon



I got tired of my needing to buy ink for the inkjets--very expensively tired of it. I researched and prayed about it and finally bought a Brother HL-4070CDW Color Laser Printer with Wireless Interface and Duplexing--whew--from Amazon. I'll try it out and see what happens. We would like to have it--I would like to think I need it, but that is not a "need"--to print pictures for children's class, calendars, work, etc.

I still like the TinySpell spelling software. It will check the spelling on about anything.

I've not been happy with a number of desktop calendars, but I have been using Rainlendar2 for awhile. It is small, easy to use, and has good reminders for my always weak memory.

Codecs packs for the computer have always been a chore. If the computer doesn't have the right codec, it cannot play the song, see the video, etc. For the past month I have been using the codec pack from Shark007 Codecs. The pack you choose needs to specific to your OS.

Remembering passwords and filling them in on webpages has always been a chore. I don't like RoboForm; Keepass has been my standard for years, but for the past months I have been using LastPass. I like it because, among other reasons, it can fill in passwords for Yahoo and MSN.

The beans are growing well, so are Elon's squash. I'll write more later; it is time to eat.
