Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

So my tablet doesn't even show up in my folders as another device or drive.

My brother has a droid phone and wants s tablet. How difficult is it to get a SIM card that hooks into his data plan?

Hey. New board.

Depends on the carrier. But most make it possible.

Dude! I just replaced my cellular modem and my router and suddenly my connection speeds are flat ripping! Who knew? Guess it was on the slide for a while.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Anyone know how to make El Capitan and a Canon Pixma MP240 play nice together?

The computer gives me this message

You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose App Store… from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in App Store…, contact the manufacturer of your printer.

The app store is full of specialty apps and cloud based stuff I don't need and the Canon website (which is much clearer to navigate) tells me there is no driver or firmware suggested for my printer.

What happens when you go into the App Store, and click on Updates?

The only outstanding update is iPhoto.

It looks like I need to figure out what happened to the printer library.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

When I try to log onto Facebook, either on my home computer or on my work computer, I get a warning that malware may have infected my computer. Both computer are Macbooks. It gives me a link to [link] and says to run the anti-virus software there, and then click a box to certify that I've run it, but there isn't any antivirus software there to run -- there's just information about how to say what apps are allowed to run. Is this something I need to worry about?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hard to believe, but it's probably malware.

I suggest downloading the free Malwarebytes for Mac [link] it's worth trying.
