Well, it’s a shame when printers outlast their drivers (which seems more and more common), but we have a decent Canon Pro9000 that I use literally once a year to print photos for grandparents. This printer has been obsolete for the last four years and MacOS no longer has the…

Well, on High Sierra when installing with Home-brew, I get this error over and over. I fixed it previously by checking on the System Preferences/Security/General and enabling a kernel extension, but this doesn’t seem to appear anymore. It worked fine until this latest Fusion 10.1, so I’m wondering if that…

Wow this latest version of iTunes reminds me how much it is an anachronism. Before iPhones went total direct, you had to dock to get your music. And now with streaming music services, who ever needs a real MP3 anyway. Plus the interface has gotten hard to figure out. For…
