For a couple of years I stopped caring about the home computers but in the past couple months started aquiring some new toys again. Just hooked up my new Brother 2040 laser printer.This is quite quick and I am impressed with it !

would you rather I asked people which way they wipe their butts ?

This is a tech site, it's really ok to discuss computer hardware and brag about the aquistion of such.

Well, since the end of April I've aquired 2 new desktops, 3 new LCD's, digital camera, mp3 players, this printer and a notebook that arrives monday. I think I'm getting the tech bug again :D lol, as far as hacking goes I just finished reading on how to trick the Brother's toner sensor so it doesn't waste toner :D

I have been seriously considering asking that (from the front or the back?), but I fear the ban, or lock even.

True enough!! I don't come around here much anymore because of the the childish remarks. You have been a rock when it comes to that. I'm sorry I lashed out at you.

It ran me $58 after $40 instant saving , $20 mail in rebate and 2% officemax member perks. I like that the drum/toner are separate.

Mine was free thanks to the infamous FREE MSN $400 loophole for CA/OR residents a few years ago.
