Re: AIO Printer Recommendation

 

For my edification only, what do you mean by "Automatic paper feed for all modes"?

Re: AIO Printer Recommendation (one more thing)

 

Which is why I replaced my ink jet printer with a Brother MFC9130 laser printer. The toner is dry and is ready to print when I am. The consumables are expensive, the printer is not. However, there are aftermarket suppliers with more reasonable prices on consumables. It is no more expensive for me to use this laser printer than the ink jet. I was always wasting expensive ink ¡®cleaning¡¯ the heads. Sometimes the cleaning operation had to be done 3 or 4 times to get it printing correctly. Most of the ink is just wasted. It is worth it to me to not be aggravated by having to constantly ¡®fiddle¡¯ with the printer to coax it to work. Cost per page is about the same as an ink jet.

If you print constantly like our in-house lawyer, then clogged heads on an ink jet are probably NOT an issue. If you print infrequently, then that can be an issue.

Of course, the ultimate disclaimer: YMMV

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¡±.

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.

I can't recommend Malwarebytes anymore; at least as a first choice for dealing with adware.

MalwareBytes has become very intrusive recently. Even the free version of MalwareBytes now installs a lot of files all over your Mac, deep in the System.? ?If you put "malwarebytes" into EasyFind, it's really varied for folks.? Some find just a few files, some find as many as 23!? I don't know what they are all doing, but as they are all very deep in the System, I don't trust it, and I don't trust the company it comes from.

Instead I now recommend this very similar program, which isn't as intrusive for dealing with adware:

DetectX
