Yay! I have a day off and got up reasonably bright and early!
I have written out a 'List of Things For Angus To Do'(tm) list and am about to embark upon the first task in a few moments. The list currently has nine important tasks on it, although the ninth is probably a bit iffy (buy a new printer) as it's not urgent and I'll probably let that one go for a couple of weeks.
On the subject of printers, does anyone have any suggestions? Laser printer mono/colour? All in one multipurpose job (photocopier/scanner/printer/photo thingy?).
Give me your thoughts (along with any links or prices if you're feeling really helpful!) :p
Anyway, task one....laundry. Followed by sorting out my broadband contract and trying to fix my CD/DVD RW drive.....

As for the comment about HP cartridges, you can get something that zaps the chip memory to make it appear full so you can refill and whatnot.
regrading printers any Canon should be fine, don't by HP as the priners themselves are cheap but the cartidges are friggin expensive (and you cannot use generics anymore s the official carts have chips in them to stop you using generic / non brand)
I would advise against an all in one jobbie unless you REALLY need all the facilities one offers. A spereate scanner will be easier to install / uninstall and use. All in ones tend to be like all in one phones, they doa nyriad of things ina mediocre manner instead of doing one thing REALLY well.
have fun on your day off and catch some rsy for all us poor souls trapped at work !
If you want new make sure the laser printer can do at least 6,000 prints per toner, and has a duty cycle aroun 50,000 prints per month. The speed and accesories are subject to how much you want to spend. I do recommend getting a HP Laser Printer becasue you can get good compatable toner cheaply.
For a new printer check out www.insight.com (click ont he UK flag)
For a refurb or used laser printer see e-bay.
Also HP's are not good at the moment, here at the University of O we have hundreds of HP printers and I can definitely say that their quality is slipping! (Grrrrrrrrr) Personally I'd go for a Brother or even a Kyocera (at a push). Don't wipe colour lasers off your list straight away - they're really coming down in price - just be sure to ask how much the cartridges cost!
