Two things helped: what wind there was was very little and also it was
more than 95F outside that day.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this. I'll avoid steel wool for something
like this in the future.

Thanks. I do have a tap and die set with the right sized ones. I don't
use it often, but when I do it sure helps with certain situations.

Well, you could have made nuts. Much less problematic than soldering.

I'm watching a Win 10 install fail/lock up right now on a new out of the
box SSD and freshly-made USB install media. Great OS

Yeah I think it's hopeless. I'll grab a laser all-in-one ideally
something with a phone jack for faxing, look to be a couple gently-used
candidates on CL around here.

I went to the laser type all in one a while back as all I do is in black
ink. They are relative inexpensive . I hope to never buy the HP brand
printers again. They do crazey things with the ink cartrages and some
good ones may show up as bad if they are very old. The laser toner does
not dry out like the ink ones if you go a long time between printing
like I do.

I love my Panasonic Penwriter, from 1986, my parents had one and a lot
of grade-school reports were made on an electronic typewriter like this one:

Got one new-old-stock a while back and the original pens sealed in their
packaging still work fine. I think they're still made by one company in
Germany, they're basically the same pens for the Atari 800 pen
plotter...it works OK as a (slow) serial port printer for text, also.
 
In theory it should be able to draw vector graphics also but I'd have to
write a conversion software from the vector format to the bespoke set of
commands the machine takes for drawing graphics. I bet schematics would
look very nice plotted out by it.
