New Electronics

We’ve run into issues with 2 computer accessories- our wireless router and our primary printer.  The printer has always been a little flakey but it has turned downright ornery this week.  Our wireless router has always had a weak signal back in the bedroom and now I found I completely wipe out the signal if I turn on a wireless security camera.

So we got a new printer.  Penny has wanted one that could scan negatives and this one can.  It was also a good opportunity to go wireless with the printer allowing us to put it anywhere in the house. I’m going to rearrange and neaten up the computer desk .

The wireless router is touted as having the best range and speed and it isn’t  an expensive one.  I’m also going to wired with the security cameras so we can benefit from the stronger router signal without interference.  The router also has a USB storage capability.  I can leave a USB drive attached to the router and can back up files on it from any computer on the network.

I also recently replaced my computer chair with a new one that has adjustable everything.

Our electronics world is changing.  Who knows maybe I’ll actually send my first text message or get an i-phone sometime soon.
