This is very exciting. . .

. . . well, let me be specific. . .

I am printing from the third floor of my house, to a wireless printer in the basement from my laptop. Exciting for some, pretty damned mundane for others. In my case though, installing, setting up, finding drivers, enabling and ALL THAT STUFF do not come easily or naturally. So, well, YES. It is exciting. . . for me.

So as I sit here around 6AM thinking I MUST WRITE SOMETHING on this blog, I am consumed with trying to make this wireless printer work. Stumbled upon something in System Preferences and realized that the word 'driver' has not appeared during this process. Now it looks like I am loading drivers and, and, and -- YES!!! I printed. Or rather IT printed. Success. Ah how sweet!!

I just love. . .

computers; no, actually I hate them.

I just bought a new HP ethernet printer and for some golldarn reason it will not recognize my wireless service. That's it. No suggestions, no alternatives, no nothing. Well, there is a help number.

But that's not the point. What galls me about the situation is the frustratingly inevitable way setting up new electronics sucks such a LARGE chunk of time from my day!!!

HP has cornered the new E-print market with Apple products and it's the first time since my MAC that I feel Apple has let me down. The HP printer is NOT intuitive like the MAC. (At least setting it up isn't.) The HP printer does not identify the problem and fix it like the MAC. The HP printer does not make the digital world a pleasure - like the MAC.

Well, I'd like to say I feel better after ranting but I really won't feel better until my printer works. Hopefully sometime today without wasting TOO MANY MORE PRECIOUS HOURS. And sometimes, after complaining about my inability to accomplish something electronic (or mechanical for that matter - I am a complete klutz) - I miraculously figure it out.
