History of Home Computing, Building PCs and Driver Sharing
The hosts reminisce about the early days of computing when users had to solder kits like the Sol-20 and write their own printer drivers. They discuss the importance of user groups for sharing technical knowledge. Adam Curry explains his goal of creating a portable Linux virtual machine on a USB drive.
The hosts discuss technical difficulties following a major Windows update, including corrupted URL dialog boxes in Microsoft Outlook. One host describes a recurring issue where printing from Photoshop or IrfanView prompts a "save to file" dialog instead of executing the print job. Troubleshooting steps involve checking legacy forum posts from 2012 and attempting to reinstall printer drivers before finding a workaround by printing directly from a web browser.
