Thanks, but I think I'll pass on the password manager. I've been maintaining my own passwords since 1982 and have seen too many changes of technology and too many hardware failures to trust them. ...

Yeah, the ZyXel is a good router. Pretty complex to setup, too. Way back in the dark ages we connected our home office and business with VPNs, but they were extremely difficult to establish and...

While I was in the router I tried turning off the built-in firewall. Wow! What a difference that made. With the hardware firewall on, all ports are stealthed except for 443. With the hardware...

Thank you. That's a good suggestion. Easy to do. Sorry it took so long, but I finally gave it a try. Turned off the wireless LAN, retested, same error: Port 443 open.

I just ran the ShieldsUP port scans (https://www.grc.com click Services and ShieldsUP). Everything passed just fine except that it reports port 443 is open. Here is the notice:


The presence...

Interesting thought. If "mortgage" is a common word that spam filters look for, I wonder how many other emails addressed to her - a mortgage company employee - end up in her own spam filters. Maybe...

I use adaptive junk filtering and Spam Assassin.

I set aside a few minutes each week to go through my spam folder and check for valid emails which got "canned" by mistake. I almost always find at...

You should read the article. It sounds like things aren't that simple anymore. Here is a more direct link to it: ...

In yesterday's newsletter I read about an app that breaks your encrypted files by looking around in your computer for keys you have typed in previously. ...

My wife's Dell laptop came with a fingerprint reader, but I can't pry her hands off of the keyboard to figure out how to set it up. It appears to be a poorly integrated tack-on product which will...

Thanks, but that is too much work for a two dimensional spreadsheet with lots of text cells, any of which might need to wrap. I'm trying to get my partner to use Open Office for this spreadsheet as...

We have been using Word and Excel for well over 20 years and Powerpoint for probably ten or more. We will use the one we feel is appropriate.

Why can't we make it look the way we want it to look? We don't want wider (higher, I take it to mean) rows. I'm not mad at you, but am pretty frustrated with Microsoft. Not that it's the first...

Hmmm. I suppose we will have to live with it. It sure looks silly. Why would they choose to force such a large space on us when their automatic row spacing is so tight and neat looking?

Thanks...

My business partner is creating a spreadsheet for an important presentation. One column contains text. It is setup to wrap the text within the cell. The problem is that the spacing between the...

And thank you for pointing me at HWMonitor. That was very handy.

I got the new drive, cloned it, and am now running on it. It seems to be staying cool, the system is not hanging (yet - after about 24 hours), and the new drive is blessedly silent compared to the...

Oh, and as an added bonus, my system is now much quieter. The old Velociraptor drives were really LOUD.

It took some fussing, but Macrium finally cloned my old C: drive to the new one. My new drive is almost twice the size of the old one, so I figured I would partition it so I could add a different OS...

The case is full of holes and slots, front and rear, and the fans all work. It's a little dusty in there, but not bad as I just cleaned it in May when I moved.


The C: drive starts out at...

The staple came out with the same page it went in on. It just left a lasting impression on the drum. Staples can be that way.

I gave the printer away on Craigslist for parts/repair. It was out...

Thanks very much for all the help.

Here's an additional tidbit: in another thread it was tentatively concluded that I must have a hardware problem. My system hangs hard every so often. I looked...

My drive D: has 455 Gb free out of 600 Gb.

Oh, and System Restore is turned off on drive D:.

"Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."

You are lucky. My LJ1200 printed multiple copies just fine, but each one had a row of staples printed up one side - the spacing apparently identical to the circumference of the drum. I still find...
