Ain't Technology Great!

I think technology is wonderful -- the personal computer, iPads, cell phones, "Alexa" -- but sometimes I want to scream.  A couple of months ago, my Outlook quit syncing my gmail accounts.  I tried to access my email on the phone and couldn't remember my password, so Gmail locked out "unsafe" software (including Outlook) from receiving any email without notifying me.  Grrrrr.  It took me three days to figure that one out and get it to work.  Now, don't get me wrong.  I am not a novice.  I've been working/playing with computers since 1977.  I am a programmer, I am a designer, I create websites and granted, I am getting old, but Geez Louise.  Two weeks ago I tried to use my printer and it spit out nothing but blank pages.  It didn't matter what I tried to print; even test pages.  I ordered new ink.  It arrived but still nothing.  I finally googled it and decided to try a hint from HP -- cleaning the printhead.  I removed it, soaked it in hot water for 10 minutes, let it air dry and reinserted it and the new cartridges.  Still nothing.  I removed the cartridges again and reseated the printhead and reinstalled the cartridges again, and it worked!!  Sometimes I could scream.   Anyway, here is my therapy.  ENJOY!

We got our first computers and printers at school in 1982! Every printer had a different connection on their cables. I've gone through many printers over the years. I hate those mysterious glitches that take so long to figure out!

Yeah, computers and anything electronic have the ability to turn any normally patient and steady person into a raving lunatic! LOL! Thanks for the page!

Everything you state has just happened to me. I got booted out of internet due to google having a hissy fit. There security is so tight they likely can't even figure it out! Back on line but nothing is working right. I love my digi scrapping but wonder if it is all worth it! I love your freebie. I don't download unless I am sure I will use it. Hope things are getting better for you.
