Slowness & Kludginess

All of a sudden over the past 2-3 days multiple notebooks have been unusable. As soon as I launch them, they stall. I cannot scroll through the sources, the studio, or the chat. I get frequent “page not responding” messages. This is on notebooks I’ve been using without problems for months. It seems to be a problem with the chat browser being overloaded. If I delete the chat history, it returns to normal. But I never had this problem previously (and deleting chat history means deleting a lot of context, too). Anyone experiencing similar, and possibly figured out better solutions?

Which Brother for a Consultant Couple?

I love that The New York Times Wirecutter identified three Brother printers as its top choices (see below). This is consistent with tons of advice in this forum. I need to replace my by hateful HP inkjet, so I’m ready.

But which one? I’d love guidance from folks in here. My wife and I are both busy consultants. I need an all in one. Most of my work is PDFs and scans and digital reports. But both of us print things, for business and casual use - maybe 20 pages a week, with one 30-50 page document every six weeks. These are mostly B&W, with some color. My heart wants the color laser, but at $500 it’s twice the price of the monochrome laser and the color inkjet.

Can someone give me a real world reality check?

Here’s the Wirecutter recommendations:

For most people, we recommend the Brother DCP-L2640DW monochrome laser printer for casual home use due to its low operating costs and acceptable print quality.12It is reliable, inexpensive, and won't clog if left idle.12
For a home office or small business, the Brother MFC-L3780CDW color all-in-one laser printer is a faster, sharper, more durable, and more secure option.12It is ideal for those who print in color often or need clear text and graphics.12
If you need a basic color printer that can also scan and fax, the Brother MFC-J4355DW inkjet all-in-one printer is a good option.1It is affordable and offers solid performance, including sharp prints and good glossy photo printing.1

Hound Dog!

This is Mr. Riddick, private eye. His secret power: telling Mama and Dada where each one is. Which is to say, when Dada is reading the newspaper in the morning and then stands up, Riddick runs to the room where Mama is and looks back, to indicate that he’s found the missing member of the pack. And vice versa.

No matter if Mama or Dada are only one bathroom away. This is an essential scouting function!

Seriously, it took us a long time to recognize his communication, that he saw his role as keeping the pack together.

Amazing how our species learn to communicate with each other.

How lucky we are to live on Shih Tzu Planet.
