I have an HP Photosmart D5360 that works well. It also does duplex printing and prints on printable CD-Rs. It's pretty nice.

Heh. I have the 7680 as well. But I have my laptop security cranked down so hard it doesn't actually acknowledge any information coming from the printer, which negates its usefulness as a scanner or photo card reader. I need to sit down and tinker at some point, because it works just fine for the SO on the same network with the same OS.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why so much security on the laptop? Do you travel with it a lot? Is it exposed?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I do, and kiddoes use it from time to time. Also, I'm paranoid. But I need to dial it back because really, there's not enough danger in all the digital world for where it's set now.

Anyone know why my iPhone is suddenly logging me out of buffistas all the time? Driving me batty.

I don't know, but I now have to sign in to Yahoo mail any time I navigate away from the page. It's annoying. Even more annoying than their recent redesign and their attempts to be Facebook.

I don't know if this is the cause, (iphone Luddite here) but when I had the 8 GB iphone and it was almost full, Safari did not cache anything and I had that very problem on sites.

With the 32 GB version I've not had the same problem.

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

Whoohoo, I have joined the 90`s! I am mobile posting, qwerty keyboard & all. The SO`s phone died (well, Alltel started refusing to acknowledge its presence) so we figured it was time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just read earlier discussion of wireless routers and etc., and just want to confirm: If I go to Gud's link [link] and pay them $40, I will end up with everything I need for wireless internet for my laptop? (I think I'm incredulous partly because seriously, if it's that cheap and easy, why didn't I do this years ago?) I don't need anything fancy, just the one computer online.
