Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I considered it but am sick of not having a color printer. Most printer scanners can also fax. I there is a really good printer scanner that does not fax then yeah, that along with Maxmail might work. I will certainly consider it, but for that to be worthwhile there would either need to be a significant price savings or significant quality advantage over a multifuction machine that included a fax. What I don't want is to have to replace the machine in two years.
I don't Fax often, but i have to send a Fax today (which is how I discovered the death of my Fax machine. It was one sheet to a local number and cost me $1.75. Would not take a whole lot of pages at that rate to pay for a $100 machine, especially if it also did color printing. I would say I fax about 50 sheets per year, so Maxmail or comparable would probably meet my needs.
I'm kind of thinking this. [link]
At 90 bucks for a step in quality above the cheapest. Not a bad rate just for a color printer. Stand alone acanners (which I would need if I used email faxing) are about $50 So for 40 bucks more than a stand alone scanner I get an OK color printer as well. And it is designed for small office so might last.
I bought this Canon PIXMA printer last year and absolutely love it. It doesn't fax, because I didn't need that. But other printers in the same line, like this one, do have that functionality.
Two unrelated question. Windows 7. I switched to Chrome some years ago, because it crashed less and responded more quickly than Firefox. However, the interface grows less and less bearable to me, and add-ons to fix this get constantly broken by Chrome updates. How is Firefox on Win7 these days in terms of sluggishness and stability?
OK, when I switched to my Win7 computer, my DTP would not migrate. So any free DTP out there that can do simple basic Desktop Publishing in terms of stuff like doing even justification better than MS word. Relatedly: Even justification in Word always results in funky obtrusive insertion of white space.But when I look at printed books, the extra white space is inconspicuous. The even justification does what it is supposed to: makes text easier to read and looks a bit tidier and more professional. Is this kerning? Or what is the print professional term for the difference between even justification done by word processors and even justification done properly?
If you need to fax, can't you use something like efax?
I have to fax forms that are only available on paper, so to use efax would still need a scanner.
Firefox works well in Win7, when I had it at work.
So far so good. The only slightly wonky thing is that there breadcrumb bar at the top that is unreadable. Does not change color when I change themes. Don't know what it is called or how to make it readable. Firefox 26.0
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!
I did something to my keyboard and now I think maybe it's in the UK? But only in Excel. WTF.
I'm working from home today because we're trying to get our website deployed before tomorrow for a trade show in two days.
So Free LogMeIn is going into an extortion mode. [link]
So what's everyone's candidates for easy free remote access choices?
One of the best parts of LMI was its ability to not have to configure routers.
Radmin and VNC of course, work but require router setup.
I liked the Cross-platformness of LMI.
Any thoughts?
