In the late 80s. I remember all of us typing in lines of prgramming to create a game, and then going through line by line to debug. Amazing what that taught us! Pretty much, all the help we had were in magazines, which we either subscribed to or bought at the store. Internet was a thing of the future. Computers have been part of our lives since then. I posted on this site awhile back about getting the new ink. I ordered it, and then was looking for something else in my basement, and found an unopened cartridge with a postage date from 2014. lol. I switched it out, and by golly, it worked. Not for long, but did surprisingly well for the age. I set the ink I ordered aside, and today, when I got a bad page, went through the process, ran into trouble, and as you say, thank goodness for Google and You Tube.

It's kind of funny. On the new printer cartridge, it pretty much says the cartridge is full, ignore the warnings from your printer. lol

Thanks for the memories and kind words!
