Yes, I was just listening to Hats (1989) and I wanted to see if the band members had done anything else since then. I've been listening to A Walk Across the Rooftops a few times in the last few weeks, since I first got it in the summer. I think the Blue Nile is basically broken up. Their 3rd and 4th albums, Peace at Last and High, didn't garner the same level of critical and popular recognition, so maybe it's best to leave it at that (from the sound of Moore's last interviews about the band, it seems to be a bitter ending, at least on his part).

I used a Printronic cartridge from OCProducts - I might try the cartridges at 123ink.ca, Moustache brand next.

I started using 3rd-party ink for my HP DeskJet - it's been working out fine for the last year or so (HP discontinued the cartridges).

It looks like Western Digital is having serious problems with its older SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) hard drives. High failure rates of Western Digital Blue and Red drives of 2-6TB have been reported: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/hdds/wd-launches-investigation-into-problems-with-its-smr-hard-drives-the-same-drives-that-got-wd-sued-in-2021-now-reporting-failure-rates-due-to-fundamental-flaws

Would swapping out the rolling casters with footers improve the sound too?
