I live in a small city in New Zealand which does not have a university so the computer books available are not that great. In the early 90s we had the legendary UK Usborne BASIC programming books, but trying to find books about Amiga progra

That would be great. I'm annoyed that my fathers 10 year old Cannon MG5100 series (printer, scanner) does not have a driver for windows 11 :(, Now he has to buy a new one or transfer files to his old Windows 10 laptop to print.

I remember in New Zealand there was a internet magazine from Australia which used to list a bunch of sites and a small description in different sections of the magazines (1997?) It started off clean, then a couple of months later it had a s
