Fun with personal tech support

[weaktwos]

I bought my mother a print driver because her old desktop computer is failing, and her printer was attached to the failing computer. Now, with a print server, I can put the printer on the network in her home and she can print from her laptop anywhere.

I also fixed her tv so that her DVR and DVD would play nice together.

I'm currently being psychically bitchslapped by the print server install, however. oy.

hopefully I'm almost done. But I have done some serious network hokie pokie action to get the network to see the print server.

I'm glad I color my likely entirely gray hair.

Yeah, it's amazing how people won't do some basic research on their own. I think in your uncle's case, I would have said, "whoa. that computer can only serve one function now. Please help it satisfy it's destiny as a glorified paper weight."
