So did I until recently. I just decided to stay off the major version update bandwagon at US$80 a pop. Bought a copy for Vista? Doesn't work correctly in Win7, and if you want a version that works correctly that's another $80. Got your Win7 copy? Oops, Win8 is out, need a new version for that too! I switched to Q-Dir (free) and while it's not the powerhouse that DO is it does what I need.
I fell your pain! It's the main reason that I don't use Linux. Before I get flamed, yes I know that it isn't entirely Ubuntu's fault since they have to depend on third party drivers which don't seem to work very well, but that shouldn't be my problem. I've used a few different flavors of Linux on different machines and I like it, but overall I still like Windows.
Maybe I need my sarcasm\joke meter adjusted, but you're incorrect about the type of service that U-Verse is. U-Verse isn't a cable service, it's a type of DSL. So in theory the billing issue COULD happen.
It's funny you mention the LJ1100. I have an LJ1100A (with the scanner installed) and it still runs. Main things that are wrong is that I have to have the separation pad replaced a few years ago (courtesy of HP) and now the scanner double feeds (nor can I find software for WinXP for the scanner). You have a suggestion for the scanner? Oh, one other thing, I also have a HP 7310. How do you feel about those?

What kind of chair do you have? I spend anywhere from 8-16 hours a day in mine and need something comfortable but that can stand up to the use.
