I've had good success with Samsung Lasers. I still have a very old ML-1710 that's a tank and all I had to do to install it in Windows 7 was plug in the USB cable.

I also have a Samsung multifunction duplex network printer that I'm not as happy with because the automatic document feeder for the scanner/fax is finicky. Like it as a printer though, especially for the duplexing.

I have a Samsung laser and I'm quite happy with it except that it's a little picky about paper. It doesn't want to feed some thicker papers without a lot of persuasion. I got it for about $50 on one of the online sales, so I'm not complaining.

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

I can't find a google gchat client for Android. I mean, one by google. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, why doesn't the Tab dictionary have android in it? It's missing some weird stuff. Why have Julio and not Julie?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...a google gchat client for Android. I mean, one by google.

It's called Talk.

Has anyone here rented a cellphone or bought a disposal cell phone for use abroad? If so, what company did you use and would you recommend them?
