I have a Canon, also, and it's great. Each color gets its own cartridge, so you don't have to throw out everything when you're only out of cyan.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The Epson is like that too, it has six individual cartridges. I've been getting my ink from TechBudget.com and it seems to work just fine.

Actually, I should order some. My yellow is almost out.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Whoops, wrong thread.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've gone thru 3 Epson printers that drove me crazy with the clogged jets. I'm happier with the cheapo Canon I have now.

Huh, I've had three Epsons and one Canon and have never had a problem that has caused me to retire them. Two of the Epsons are still in use and one of them does print jobs of hundreds of pages all the time. Maybe I've just got less problematic models. I've had an Epson laser printer I wasn't fond of however.

I've heard that the Epsons have fewer problems if you use them regularly. Ther last one I had, I wouldn't use sometimes for months at a time, and it developed chronic clogging and paper path problems. I just bought a new one, and I'm making a point of printing something every few days. No idea if it will help -- ask me in a couple of years -- but I figure it's worth a try.

So, a while back, a friend sold me a nice new PC, and I want to transfer as much stuff from the old machine on to the new one as I can. The old machine was a handbuilt box, so I'm not sure how to figure out what kind of memory it's got on the MB.
What are the possibilities of totally screwing up my new box by popping memory sticks from the old box into the new and just turning it on to see what happens?

All is well that ends in pizza.
You could fry the memory, or the sockets.
Best thing? identify the motherboard, look up the specs.
Hmmm.... this [link] may help.
