Have you tried one of the "what does this number spell" sites?

Yep, went there first. Problem is that the only prefix available is 599, and all of the suffixes start with a zero.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oy, I can't believe we're kvetching over freaking phone numbers. This shouldn't be this goddamned difficult. Hmph.

Yeah, about the only thing pronounceable is LYZ.

I know! If they had just given me a number, I wouldn't even be thinking about it!

Okay, I committed to a number. You may all go back to your regular business.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
If they had just given me a number, I wouldn't even be thinking about it!
If there is no choice, we deal. If there IS a choice? Well, we have to choose. And obsess. And stuff.
I moved just under 53,000 messages to Mail to backup Gmail. It doesn't know it's lucky I cleared about half of the old stuff out the day before I got disabled. It's not perfect, but it's a backup. And I kinda freaked when I had no access to my email at all, so...
I can't imagine choosing a new number. Even though currently I have to start by saying, "area code" because it's not a local number. I just make them conform to me. This had been my number for about 15 years, it's mine.

I was thinking that it would be good for the job search. And now I have a new issue. Due to the job search, I finally got off my ass and hooked up my all in one printer (which has been sitting in a box for three years) only to find that they stopped making the model right before/after vista came out and there's no bloody driver!!! I really don't want to spend the money on a new printer right now.
Any recommendations for cheap but good? I'd prefer color, but beggars can't be choosers.
