I bought a $35 laser printer last night.

Normally $100, but on sale at office depot yesterday. It has wireless printing and worked excellently once I got it configured--last night.
Today? Nothing. No worky.
I figure the 10 pages I printed last night testing cost about $3.50/page.

But the whole thing was only $35. I spent $40 at Wild Wing Sunday drinking, and have absolutely nothing to show for that.

Scanner Copier in our office for the better part of 2 years now. Each time I think I've got it mastered it decides to forget how to obtain an IP address and stop communicating with any computers on our network.
I've factory reset the ####### thing 8 or 9 times now. If I get it working for me, it stops working for everyone else and vice versa.

dot matrix Panasonic. I used Lotus 123 for everything and I could code changes in font, size and just about anything else I needed.
I wrote the entire Architectural Contract documents up on lotus and could fill out a any of the forms without buying the package from the AIA. I billed City Hall in Greenville over $2.5 mil with that printer.
SUCK IT AIA!
