Habs won in 93 and it was the last time a Canadian team won the cup.

I actually have a picture of me next to the Stanley Cup, was at the Hockey Hall of Fame for an event.

My printer stopped working. Decided to roll the dice and order a used printer sold through Amazon. Hoping it's just a return to Amazon that was auctioned off. *crosses fingers* $180 cheaper than brand new. I don't use the printer that often to justify a high price tag. On the other hand, I like the convenience of having a multifunction printer with a scanner. So, print/copy/scan. Don't give a rip about fax. That should die on the heap of discarded tech.

I have a Brother Multifunction Laser. Sems fine, thoigh it was meant for SMB so it is sturdier than home model.

Theoretically. Not a fervent fan, as long as they put in the effort, I am good.

I don't root USA vs Canada unless it's the Olympics. I root for the Bruins/Stars in the NHL. The Habs are my most hated rival. I still root for them if Boston gets eliminated. The Stars are the local team and they are my 2nd favorite team.

Wife is CPA, they like to print...mine takes 8000 page toner... I would never buy a colour laser. That is just failure waiting to happen.

A b&w laser makes since if you print a lot. I like having the auto document feeder and the two paper trays. Of course, it made more sense when my late wife was constantly printing things. Old habits are hard to change. I don't like loading up paper all the time. The only downside is the lack of a back loading single sheet loader. That was always great for envelopes or different paper. I wish they didn't do away with that feature. I think I've been with Canon multifunction printers for over 10 years now. I've used Epson and HP as well. I had a Brother typewriter, but no printer.

On mine it is front manual feed and you open the back to get the output straight as opposed to rolling it back to output tray. Mine has a scan feeder as well, albeit single sided.

I think mine is from 2008, not sure though.

Have to go back to 2008 to get that feature. :p

You're up late Sid. I'm up late, too, but I'm using my deluxe massage pad. Pulled a muscle in my mid back on Tuesday morning. Been 30 years since I've had a similar injury.

I remember when we got a colour laser back in high school, it was a huge deal at the time to be able to have one of those, and you needed special permission to print to it. It's crazy that you can buy one for under a grand now days. I kinda want one, but at same time I don't really print enough to justify it.

The nice thing with laser though is toner does not really go bad. I finally changed the one in my Brother a while back and it was the one that came with it over 10 years ago. I had to print 500 pages and it was starting to be faded so I changed it out. Technically could have kept printing for a while I think but these were signs going on hydro poles so wanted it to look decent from far. Glad I was even able to still buy a toner for it.

I don't think they'll ever disappear lol. Brother printers live long.

I like the Tektronic Solid Ink printer. I think Xerox fucked it up big time when they got it.
