General Discussion |  | | Well, it happened …
Got all the hardware I need; a new impoved PC, a new improved monitor and an external blu-ray burner. Why is it that almost all desktop PCs seem to be aimed at gamers? And why don't they come with an optical drive?
Anyway, I got Windows 11 configured. I had almost forgotten how much fun it is to get trusty old peripherals to work with newer Windows. An old Canon printer, an old Brother label printer and an old CanoScan scanner. Plug-and-play? Hardly. Canon didn't have printer drivers for win 10 or win 11. I got it working with an older driver, though, after some twiddling. The scanner actually seems to work with the drivers that came with it on a CD. And the label printer works with the win 10 drivers that I downloaded. So that's one hurdle cleared.
I have downloaded and installed Visual Studio, and right now I'm restoring all my projects from my backup. Much more stuff to download and install. Haven't decided if I should install Avast antivirus again, or if I should just trust Windows own antivirus. Phew! | GSyren |

I was certainly hoping these would be approved after 14 days, but they continue to be passed over.  | rdodolak |
