Abstract
From the Screen of Stone first appeared in the December 1987 issue of the AP-S Newsletter. It has since appeared either as a separate column or in a “lite” version (appended to my Editor’s Comments) in almost every issue of the Newsletter and Magazine. The scope is quite literally whatever crosses my screen, with an emphasis on computer hardware and software, but always trying to provide information that engineers will find of personal practical value. Mahta was kind enough to allow me to continue the column, although it may be somewhat limited in length (and therefore, some of the discussions will be more terse than usual). The topics in this issue include the end of life cycle for Windows 7, one reason why your computer may be slowing down, using the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to plan technology purchases, something to consider if you need a dental crown, and a note about DOCSIS 3.0 cable modems.
