Welcome / open talk

I have had a HP Deskjet printer for many years and a separate flatbed UMax scanner. The scanner was no longer viable because they never provided updated drivers for Windows 10, so I kept a dual boot for Windows XP on my desktop computer just so I could scan when I needed to (that was a PITA).

I was glancing through my spam, and one caught my eye because it said I know your password is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

It went on to say I know you did this and that and I have placed malware and you should send $xxxxx.xx to etc etc

I thought wait a sec that's a real pwd, but where do I use it?

I use it here.

Merry Christmas to everyone. This past year has been extremely difficult for all. I pray that the new year will bring happiness to everyone and that this pandemic is put in our rear view mirrors.

I am starting my holidays early and may not get back on until after Christmas!
I would like to wish all of you a happy holiday season and hope you and your loved ones are safe and sound and I for one look forward to putting 2020 behind me!

we had a storm last Wednesday night, Thursday morning.

A lot is melting now, and I noticed the USPS is driving around with tire chains.

Isn't this irresponsible? Imagine the damage to our roads, and the vibration to their vehicles when they are driving normal speeds, 35-50 mph.

And I read they buy $1,400 Snap On floor jacks.

One of the forums that gets referred to quite often is GPS Passion (www.gpspassion.com). If fact, one of our members, T923347, has been a moderator over there.
