Jason,
We were talking about printers. Specifically we were talking about
HP Photoshop printers and the lack of Vista drivers therefore.
The last software I purchased was a CD with Office 97 that my daughter
needed for school. It was part of a deal for signing up with a
local ISP. Her word processing class was limited to Word and my
daughter wanted to use "what everyone else was using". There really
wasn't a choice.
Maybe I bought an old DOS game or two back in the old days.
That's it.
