Quick Computer Technology Tips

I suppose some of you may have been in the market for a new printer and have discovered that
you have to be really specific and detailed now in what you purchase.
The new thing is that some of the newer printers only work with certain computers or laptops
now, especially Apple or MacOS.
If you have an older Mac then your Desktop or laptop will not work with a newer printer unless
of course it can install and run the latest MacOS or something close to it
otherwise you are just out of luck and have to buy a new Mac computer.


With Windows you are usually fine except for the problem of finding drivers for your specific
desktop or laptop.

So Windows is a bit more flexible and usually supports most printers except for the really old ones.

So, watch out and don't get rid of your old printer unless you have a good reason to or you just can't
find drivers for it or it's not supported at all.



  Old Monitors
 Some of you may have older vga or hdmi moitors laying around for emergencies but you may discover that they might not
 work when hooked to a newer pc either Mac or Windows.
  
  Yep, you usually get the "Scan out of range" error message or "Resolution out of range" error message. 
So those monitor will probably only work on an older PC or Mac unfortunately and may actually be totally useless to you. 
So check your old monitors or even tv's with vga or hdmi ouput because
they might be just taking up valuable space for nothing.
