Yesterday, Spane and I took the train to Santa Clarita to help Theresa install her printer to her new computer, and install some virus software. It should have taken about three hours, maximum.
When we got there, I asked Theresa if she had heard anything from Douglas, and she said that, of course, Douglas had accused me of trying to keep Spane from seeing him. What a jerk! He refuses to even think that he might have hurt Spane so much when he threatened him with foster care. Like everything else, he refuses to take any responsibility.
Well, let me tell you a little bit about Hewlett Packard. They sell cheap printers that work just fine until you decide to upgrade your operating system. Then, when you try to install your old printer, you are informed that you have to roll back your operating system to one that the printer will accept. They do not make drivers for the new operating system. You have no choice but to go out and get a new printer. No other printer manufacturer does this - every other manufacturer has patches you can download to make the drivers acceptable.
Of course, Theresa had an older printer that was not compatible. We went on-line and looked for other printers that were in her price range that did not have that practice, and found a really nice wireless all-in-one printer from Epson. It's a great printer, I highly recommend the Epson Workforce printer.
They also have their Internet through AT&T, which means that they have a proprietary combination modem and router. If you change anything on it, like its CSID, it will stop broadcasting. It took a technician from AT&T and I almost an hour to figure that out. Not a fun thing to do.
We didn't get home until almost 12:30 this morning. I'm tired, my back hurts from sitting on the floor for two hours, and I'm not doing anything today.
Thank God for Spane. He's such a good boy, he cleaned the bathroom with bleach and cleaned up the living room, too. I love my son!
