....sneak into wherever his computer is and take photos of his screen
showing he is using either Windows 2.1 or Windows 95 on his 8088-based
computer with the three foot deep, 15" green phosphor monitor.

Threaten to post photos.

Should be worth at least a buck from Tim. :)

I seem to remember Tim said he was a Luddite and darn proud of it.

Actually my computer was built in about 2003 and is loaded with
windows 2000 and my monitor is a Compaq FS740

No, there's nothing really 'modern' about it. it doesn't even have a
cd burner in it. But it's good enough for what I do with it.

Somewhere around here I still have a laptop that has AOL 3.0 on it
from the early 90's.

One thing about ancient monitors is that if it gives me any problems,
I go to the local pawnshop and get another for about $5.00 and I'm
good to go, again.

But I did move into the 21st century a bit. I splurged and got a new
printer/scanner. a HP "Officejet J4540 All-in-one"

What's wrong with Windoze 98? Just about the time they got all he bugs
out they released XP and we are about 100 updates into that.
Microsoft is 3 versions of Windoze later (Vista, 7 & 8) and it is all
bloated bugware that will be replaced about the time they get it
fixed.

I take that back, Greg. It is windows XP office edition and not 2000
I have another ancient box that has '96 on it though. I used it on
dial-up. might break it back out and take it to the shop for
recordkeeping etc.

Hey, there. You're lucky your older version of Windoze has a driver
that'll run that printer. I think I have one remaining program I rarely
use that requires Windoze, though it is possible by now that there is a
Mac version. It's just an "updater" utility for my Garmin GPS.

I've got an older version of MS Office I'll stick with...there's just
nothing in the new versions I need, and I certainly don't need an even
more complex word processor with features I'll never use.

I just gave one away recently in perfect condition. Good monitor but
it was taking up way too much space in my office - put it out on the
curb and it was gone in hours.

XP runs it just fine. I doubt the older versions would, though.

Make sure you stop using them before the expire date. Or else.

Just buy the under $100 printers and when the cartridges run out of ink
just buy a new printer.

The problem is, a "new printer" cartridge is less than half full.
Jet printers are made to sell ink and they only start you out with
enough to tease you.

If you really do much printing, get a laser.

Or refill your own.

Pretty good low volume laser printers are available these days for about
$100, and, compared to inkjet printers, you can get a lot more copies
out of a laser cartridge. Plus, there are plenty of third-party
suppliers of good quality refilled laser cartridges. I still think that
for print quality of text on paper, laser printers are the best.
