The time is rapidly approaching for me to turn in my company phone for my own personal cell phone. I've been on Nextel for 3 years now, with a Motorola i95cl, and have had very few complaints. So I'm debating whether or not I want to stay with Nextel or jump ship to T-Mobile (T-Mobile having the advantage of people NOT being able to radio me when I don't answer the phone). I really wanted a Razr (which would mean T-Mobile) but I've heard bad things about its sound quality.

Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions/recommendations?

I need a laser printer. Big ass paper tray and output receiver (400 sheets at a time would be great, but it looks like I may have to live with 250) Black and white/grey scale. I have no color needs on a laser scale. Cheap and last forever would be nice too. Print quality would not have to be great, as long as it was OK Speed is a plus, but if the paper tray is big enough to allow unattended printing, does not have be fabulous. Basically I'm looking a good per cost page for unattended monochrome draft quality printing - high speed being a bonus. I do want the thing to last though, so I want the lowest priced meeting my criteria that will hold up rather than the absolute lowest price.

We have some HP LaserJets in the office that have been around forever and still work great. In fact, we just bought three more of the current equivalent model. I'm considering getting one myself for my home office. I can't remember what model we just bought but I know it was about $200.

I second that, I love HP LJs. This should get you started.

When it comes to longevity my experience points to the LaserJet printers as well. They aren't the cheapest but they do seem to last.

Apple lobs grenade into Microsoft media center camp

I thought Microsoft bought Apple about 7 years ago?

I thought Google bought Microsoft last week.

You guys are confused. MicroGoogle bought AppleSoft. Both are now divisions of AOL / Time Warner. And all is right with the world.

Now I'm flashing memories to the brief segment in Friday - the Heinlien novel, not any of the millions of other possible Fridays - where Friday is researching the Shipstone corporation and realizes that they secretly (publicly, but not obviously) own pretty much the entire world. I distinctly remember that they owned both Pepsi and Coke, for example.

AOL is SOOOO last year.

Ha. LIKE the Mormons would let that happen.

And I could've sworn that MicroGoogle bought AOL/TimeWarner and Disney, and is going to be renamed McGoogle.
