So the completely "mechanically-functional" hardware has been disabled by software? Remotely? Internationally?

That is the very Definition of a Virus.
Remote computer sabotage using Federal FCC networks.

This happened with my Cannon printers. Two of them actually.
Fully functional before and mostly new.
I received some message like "This product is out of it useful cycle and has been discontinued" or some nonsense..

I preferred that company's products before. Probably won't ever buy it again.Yeah. I won't.

The problem was that the bad updates were crashing computers!
Their new releases were making users the lab rats. If your computers doesn't crash then we know the update is O.K.

I still have a copy of "Windows 386" or Window 2.1 on 5.25 inch floppy discs. It came with my first mouse back in 1988.





It would be hard to hook up that serial port to any modern computer. Notice, it says Patent Pending.

I wonder how many mice have been sold since that era.
