WAIT. Reading Tamsey in Texas, reminded me to tell you all to NOT mail any checks, ever!! Several months ago, I was introduced to "Washed Checks". I wrote a check for $110.00 to an ankle service, and learned that they never received it. Then my bank informed me that I ""wrote"" a check for $4,200. Someone got their hands on that check I wrote, and put into the USPS system. They "washed" the payee and the dollar amounts, up to $4,200. My bank is the one that caught it. They told me to come in, and they will close all of my accounts, including credit and debits cards. Then they would open new accounts for me, to include new debit and credit cards. My bank is so good that before we even completed that process right in the bank, they were notified that the Fraud Department has deposited $4,200 back into my account. They then told me they experience "washed check" at the rate of one a week. As a result, we refuse to write another check, EVER. And yes, there is a way to get around those companies that want to be paid by check.

So, don't write another check. Protect yourself.

There is a very expensive Verizon wireless router in another part of the condo that is hooked up to all of Verizon's other electronics, however, the Verizon guy hooked up another item to my old computer that looks like the router, but is called a wi-fi extender, & it now plugs into the back of the new computer. When I unplugged it, as suggested by Alvin3232, I lost the internet altogether and my own network name did not show up. Nothing showed up. Previous to Verizon 'upgrading' my system with new TV receivers a few months ago, I'd had a cheap router that was sending internet signals from another room with no problem and it didn't need an extender. The upgrade actually turned out to be a downgrade as the 'new' receivers don't do half of what the old ones did. (Xfinity is looking better and better.;-) I did as you suggested & clicked on the internet symbol in the taskbar, but the only thing it would bring up is the name: INTERNET, and it appears on further sleuthing to be a Public network category. I used to be able to bring up all the internet connections from the other folks in the building, but try as I might I cannot do that with this new computer. My own named network was on that list, but the list is not showing up anywhere. There is no selection for Wi-fi Settings, only Ethernet and that does not give a choice of showing available networks. I've tried several times to Re-set the Network, restarted my computer and it still didn't help. Windows 10 is just not giving me the choices to find the list of networks in this area. I've gone so far as to turn off the power, unplug all of Verizon's equipment in the utility room & leave everything off for 5 minutes to see if a reset was possible, but that didn't help, either.

I first started reading the site 25 years ago when Brit, Phil Askey ran it. It was a brilliant idea, and turned into one of the best sources of information about cameras and photo gear you could find. As revenue dwindled over the last few years, it did lose a bit of luster, but it is still a primary source of information.

I wonder if anyone will pick up the slack? I also wonder what the team of Chris and Jordan, the DP Review video creators, will do. They are based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and used to run The Camera Store TV channel. Their work is fair, balanced, measured, insightful, and detailed. I hope they land another gig or start their own YouTube entity.

UPDATE: A quick view of the DP Review YouTube channel indicates that Chris and Jordan have something in the works for their own thing... I'm sure it will be as good as usual.
