If my husband wasn'...jealous! I want a lap top.<br />If my husband wasn't gone to an out of town seminar, I would ask him about your printing problem.

I hate that mousepad too. I use a wireless mouse all the time. It can be frustrating setting up a network. I set mine up last year. I was determined to do it and I finally got it after a few rounds of cursing and yelling. Since then I have set one up for my neighbor and one for my daughter. I think I should open a business and at least get paid for it. <br />FYI: After a little research I think I named the purple flower - actually a weed that thrives in fields during cool temps - Henbit. According to what I have read it is not very welcome.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-33227426905860185852010-04-12T13:42:19.040-05:002010-04-12T13:42:19.040-05:00The compatibility of the computer and printer may ...The compatibility of the computer and printer may not exist. I have an old laptop that doesn't allow me to print on any of our printers or even use the scanner. I got a single root from the neighbor's son in law of a mulit petaled fernleaf. He had dug it up just yesterday and took it home. He gave me this tiny little root. I will dig this week in Osceola on my mom's again.L.

And you did get to hear about the naked skydive after all. I have a laptop AND a desktop computer, both Macs. I was converted by Smart Guy. When we retired we wanted something less likely to get infected, and it's worked well. When I travel I take the laptop, and if I feel like sitting on the front porch in the summertime, I can do that with the wireless setup. Very nice setup you've got there.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-31768313078895724612010-04-12T12:52:03.758-05:002010-04-12T12:52:03.758-05:00Laptops are great, I got mine Christmas.

And for traveling it's awesome for those hotel room, nothing to do times.

I love your log desk, I am sitting in my log (and barn board) bed at the moment staring out my big window looking at my big red tulips (and weeds) trying to get my airways ready for a bit of hard work today - today the jungle moves! And that is just the first job today. It is nice to not have to look at work you'd rather not do when your not doing that work, I like being able to sit in the one well tidied spot that is completed instead of seeing the kitchen counter or the unfinished living room, hard to be relaxed or creative with that sort of nonsense starin' back at ya eh? Have a good day!Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.com
