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.

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?

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.

Thanks. I did a scan with Avira, and it found nothing, so I figured it's probably OK. It seemed weird to get the alert on two different computers.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, I've decided that in January - assuming I get an actual raise and not one like last year's where my take-home pay went DOWN after the "raise" kicked in - that I'll upgrade to an actual smartphone. I've been using my old flip phone (try not to laugh - I'll get enough of that when I turn it in).
Any suggestions for which phone? Basically, I want to make phone calls and do a little texting; my hair salon has gone to text-only reminders and the dumbphone won't let me reply. When I try to hit "c" to confirm, it autocorrects to "Cab" ... NOT the message I want to send.
