Do you suggest I run the app mostly?
I run DetectX automatically at every boot-up (and I turn my laptop off overnight most nights, so ¡°Boot-up¡± is usually every day). I then close it, but if I install a new piece of software, DetectX brings up a requester asking if it should check again. Since its check only takes a few seconds, I always say ¡°yes¡±.

One of the more irritating issues with the HP8500 was the requirement to use HP cartridgesalong with the fact that if you did buy a spare set, they could go "out of date" while sitting in reserve.

My HP8500 All In One printer needs replacement. Features I would like:
-Color
-Automatic paper feed for all modes
-Duplex printing/copying
-Fax
-Wi-Fi and hardwire connectivity
-Low/economic cost per-page (relative)
Recommendations/experiences would be welcome and helpful.
TIA

Personally I find the UI for iWorks apps much less kludgy [no ribbon!] then MSO.
Over the past several years, I¡¯ve attempted to migrate from MS Office to Apple¡¯s suite, but back when I was doing scientific writing I found it impossible to create reference lists for scientific articles that would adapt to changing the location of referenced text to different places in my articles.
In 2015 and 2016 I marveled at the power of Excel via participation (as an end user) in the growth of an online multi-sheet Workbook that cataloged VW diesel owners¡¯ experiences with the company¡¯s buyback program. Literally thousands of VW diesel owners participated in that effort in the same fashion. The basic workbook was developed and published by one individual, and I never saw it crack under the strain of all those people reporting their own journeys to redemption. I cannot imagine Numbers accomplishing that task.
Then again, the spreadsheets I create myself typically are single-task projects designed to make certain I don¡¯t spend to much on my electronic gadgets, or other very modest goals, and my writing in word processors is dominated by quite simple letters.

Re: I'net Radio app suggestion(s)
I don't use it much but I'm surprised no one else has mentioned iTunes/Music. Loads of internet radio "stations" in there, grouped by style/genre.?

Howdy.
iTunes does streaming radio.? The replacement Music app for Catalina
also still does streaming radio.
You can add new streaming stations.
This is a link to a great streaming radio locator.? It lists stations

Dan, it repaired permissions there in Terminal. But, it didn¡¯t help with doing anything
on my computer, if that makes sense.

Doug, here's a Terminal command to repair permissions.
This is from an article on High Sierra permissions but I think it's the
same in Catalina.
1. Open ¡°Terminal¡°.
2. Type the following command, then press ¡°Enter¡°:
sudo diskutil resetUserPermissions / `id -u`
You will need to type your Home User Account password which will not
appear on the screen.
Tell us what happens.

It should look like this Get Info window screen capture.

Anyway,
I just inherited a Late 2009 iMac to replace mine that died.
One app I constantly used was Radium for I'net radio stations.
It loads & Lockes up.
It doesn't look to have been updated since March 2013.
I am looking for suggestions, for a comparable replacement.
