@keithzg Ah got you. I just opened this box yesterday. I was just excited it worked to print to out of the box.

I haven't tried the copy/scan/fax stuff. we'll see...

@keithzg ....you might need to install CUPS.

@keithzg I used CUPS. http://localhost:631

I always find other/proprietary admin stuff fails in some way.

Worky! And printed wirelessly from another room.

Confirmed, the HP MPF M479fdw does work with Linux/CUPS.

Happy buyer.

@jezra @tpheine 2 carts I had for the C64 were Omaga Race and Adventure. The other 150+ games were, are, on floppy. It's all still in my basement. :P

@jezra @tpheine My childhood bedroom, ~2-10yrs had shag, in red! Nasty stuff!

The VIC20 was in this era. A normal brown rug, and normal fake paneling. Oo

You can see this is a few years later. I've upgraded to a C64.

(Gotta blow dry that kind of coif!)

@jezra @tpheine My first was Basic, ~1980, X-Mas, a VIC20!

A note to all new VIC20 owners...

Don't use them on your bedroom rug! (The vents are under there.)

@theru HAM stuff... there is a malfunctioning robot on my bench.

The computer room smells of polyurethane. I think I'll laptop it in the bedroom today.

Listening to Floyd, Animals. They hit their prime here, IMO.

Was just listing to Pro and Cons. Then put on The Final Cut. Pros was missing Gilmour. (But, fine job, Mr. Eric.)

Enjoy, @dick_turpin :

@theru Yeah, pal. Anything in the Ale, Port, stout range.

Throw the IPA's over board!

I don't have cable TV. I see some TV news over the air once and a while.

Its sad.

We have the new royals on TV over here ATM. We should buy this Brexit thing!

("On TV" shows my age. Its all playing out on phones these days.)

@theru I'll grab another when ever you're over.

...if you bring the beers. ;)

Half a cow going down. #byob
