Dad's laptop came this afternoon and is just about ready to give to him. The missing bit for now is that I need to add a printer. I'll have to do the same with mum's as I forgot about it. Getting any wanted files from the old machines transferred to follow sometime.

Thinking printers. My Epson photo inkjet got moved out into a shed during the clear up of my room and I'm wondering if it can be accommodated indoors somehow. I hope it's still OK as in my experience, the inkjets get clogged up beyond nozzle cleaning if they don't do any printing. My policy became to send a print job through once a fortnight if the printer had been idle. I have it as a recurring task on my computer list.
