Eddie and Al, you are troopers and I salute your resilience. As my greatly missed late father used to say of the vintage computers: "They will always do what they were intended to do." And that is quite a lot! I have quite a few old Macs and all are still cranking. Best of luck with yours. You

To Upgrade or Not to Upgrade

I have a query regarding Mac system upgrades. I am currently running Mavericks (OSX 10.9.5) on my Mac Mini, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB RAM. I've been reluctant to upgrade to Yosemite or El Capitan because this works well for me (and my peripherals). I know upgrades use more memory. Not sure

I also live in the U.S., but having bought or inherited a number of ailing iMac G3's--13 to date--I have managed with my limited knowledge and skill to fix and upgrade them ALL--merely by Googling each machine, system and problem. Honestly, you can do this. And parts are out there--some even "new

My workhorse is a Mac Mini I bought secondhand on eBay for around $500, fully loaded. It's a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 500 GB HD, now maxed out at 16GB RAM. I bought a 23 Acer flat screen and now have a sweet system running OSX 10.9.5. I've not yet done the free upgrade to Yosemite because I'm well

Re: Epson RX700 Printer error

Since the message you've gotten suggests the waste ink pads are saturated, seems the only way to fix it is to clean or replace the pads. You're more likely to find a four-leafed clover than a tech who will repair it for you. So...here's a do-it-yourself fix, for what it's worth. Good luck!
