Please tell me how we can buy a laser printer that works when you connect it and install the drivers. HP Plus is awful and unreliable. New printer for client basically bricked now. Wasted hours on it. Guess I'll have to start buying Brother printers again.

"Emoji-fy" your typing in Windows!

Microsoft has made it very simple to add emojis (i.e., 😊💗) to your emails or any other typed communication.

We all know how to do this on our phones in texts, etc. But how do you we add emojis in a Word document or in an email on our computers? Good news - it's super simple.

The following key combination will bring up a window of emojis from which to choose: [Win] + [.]

That's the [Windows key] and the [period key].
Press those two keys at the same time and get a pop-up showing a bunch of emojis. Click the one you want to use and voila.

And, as they say on TV, "but wait - there's more!". The following trick makes the emoji feature even easier to use.

Let's say you want to find the emoji for fire (🔥). After the pop-up window appears, just start typing the word "fire". All emojis related to what you are typing will be shown. That's all there is to it.

Enjoy! 👍 😃
