    SF is very slow at this time. I tried about an hour and a half back, it wouldn't even load. Just letting you know, Handy.

    .PDF software that doesn't cost 20.00 a month?

    Is there a tool that will run locally and strip a pdf file of all protection? There are websites that do this, but a file is protected in the first place because it is sensitive, and I wouldn't want to upload such sensitive info websites I don't know anything about. I use qpdf.exe all the time...

Even the ancient version did wonderful things like calculating the wedding anniversary, death anniversary, age as of this birthday, etc. Very, very thoughtful design; brilliant, actually. Subsequent versions broke a lot of things. I'll check for...

    I bought an Epson Perfection 2480 Photo scanner from Staples for a very good price in 2004 when I was living in the US. It still works great, I still use it quite a bit. Only downside was, it came with software that was W98 compatible. So I ran W98 in a VM and continued using it. When I built...

    Print quality on my 16-year old Brother HL-5350DN monochrome laser had become horrible. Print was always very light, in the driver I had to set density to max and it was barely readable. New original drums were impossible to get, and refurbished ones barely worked for a bit. Toner cartridges...
