Color printing? Why?

I just buyed a low cost multifunction laser printer because after many years, I realised that I don't need to print in color or at least no more than 2-3 time a year. In the worst case, there is always a copy-center nearby where I can have high quality prints. I think that people who complain about the lack of color greatly overestimate the need for the vast majority of uses.

It's Mega Maid. She's gone from suck to blow.

Why not try the Spaceballs MegaMaid? A sure way to suck some fresh air from earth and bring it elsewhere,

Hey Frank. Think you have some incompatible sentences in your comment :

"What i dont understand about some people is how they can be so negative about something they have not tried or given it a fair shot."

...and...

"[...] explain to me how linux is going to give you the familiar XP look? its bloody ridiculous that people can even think for a second that Linux will be more familiar to users than vista."

Have you ever tried any recent Linux distro? Gnome is intuitive, flexible and uncrufted. It's *kind of* a a crossing between XP and OSX and can be customized (easily) to look and feel as either of them... or better : like Vista. And the result is very surprising.

So come on, don't hit on those who are "so negative about something they have not tried or given it a fair shot".
