135. A new printer for my computer that was new around Christmastime.

Sat Apr 5, 2014, 02:53 AM

Apr 2014

I paid, but my son purchased and installed.
There's still much to figure out about both, and having poor vision doesn't help.

I was away during Jan & Feb, so just really started using computer in March, and printer installed late in March.

I like to scan old family photos using the printer, and post some of them on Facebook for the younger generations, brought up away from the family home city.
