Probably when 32-bit support is unavailable anymore I'll finally throw away the old hand-me-down machine that shipped with WinXP (still the best OS Microsoft ever made). Or I'll keep just in case it's worth a zillion and twelve dollars in another few hundred years or something.

You gotta watch the video to find out!

I still have my old scanner/copier/printer HP 380 all-in-one and it still mostly works. I'm glad I found this thread because I want to get a new printer soon.

Switching to Linux was hardly a "gargantuan task" for me. That was years ago now and it's only gotten easier since then. Learning to use and maintain Linux was the harder part, but no more difficult than running "defrag" and all that when I was learning Windows. I think most ordi...

I just spent the last two hours trying to type some text - in a specific font - along a curved line.
