Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Yeah, I've got an HP all in one that is on my network and it's always been tempermental. It's got built in wifi that has never worked right with my Macs so it ended up with a net connection that seems to need constant babysitting. It may be better if it were directly connected. I've also got a Canon ip3000 that has been great and has just worked, with no worries.

Huh. My hp 4215xi all-in-one has always worked perfectly with my eMac. Better, in fact, than my old Epson that came with a Mac purchase.

Is it networked or plugged directly into your computer? The folks above have only had problems when it was networked.

Does anyone know why a PS2 game from America wouldn't work in a Playstation bought in Ireland? I thought they weren't regional?

PS2s made for UK/Europe and presumably Ireland are part of the PAL system, whereas PS2s made for the US are NTSC/US and Japan has NTSC/JAP. The games are coded to go with the systems. That may be why it isn't working.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh. Duh. I was thinking of the PSP. Sorry.

Ah, thanks guys. That's what I figured, but the Bloke brought a game back from America to play on my console. He asked and they said it would work fine, but I guess the shop dude didn't know what he was talking about.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Eek, sorry about the links! Stoopid Apple store.

Given that ours will be non-networky, plugged right into the computer it'll be sitting 18 inches from, and not speaking to any other piece of equipment, any server, or anything else, I'm guessing we'd be fine with an HP?

I rather like my Epson R200. The printing directly on printable CDs is way nifty. I don't know how well it plays with Macs. Works fine with Linux though.

Sorry that I commented and ran.

The HP all-in-one is connected to both my eMac and an iMac, connected to an ancient HP Laserjet 6L.
