The bad news is that I had to struggle through my tax software with the old Mac Mini.
The good news is that it still worked.
The bad news is that the taxes were hard as hell because I needed a statement from my Credit Union and my password wouldn't work.
The good news is that the Credit Union emailed me the statement.
The bad news is that it needed a paasword, too and in a pdf format my computer refused to open..
The good news is that I got it open in Preview "eventually".
The bad news is that I couldn't print the whole page full size (needed a magnifying glass to read the numbers).
The good news is that the numbers were about right.
The bad news is that my inkjet printer decided to run out of ink.
The good news is that I finally found the dedicated printer cable for the "new" color toner printer that has been sitting around for a year refusing to connect to the Mac Mini.
The good news is that it worked (after "many bad words" at the "add a printer app").
The good news is that the toner printer printed out the Credit Union statement, full size.
The bad news is that it was so unexpected to work, I almost had a heart attack when it began to print.
The good news is that I completed and printed my tax forms.
The bad news is that I owe some additional taxes to Federal and State.
But in general? More good than bad. The color toner printer works great. Loud, but who cares? And my taxes are done. I'll call that a "win".
