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!
Am I totally off-base with that amount, or does that sound reasonable?
Way too cheap. The ongoing maintenance can spiral into insane amounts of time. My maintenance agreements list specific services totaling not more than x number of hours, with an hourly rate above that. They'll think of things they want to add. They'll decide the copy needs changing. Someone using IE 3 will complain he can't see it. The site will mysteriously crash.
Anyone here familiar with the new generation of printers coming down the pipe?

WOW! Holy crap, those are fast printers!
Man, they really are.
What's the time to market of those puppies?
Is there any information on how they work? I'm guessing they have print heads across the width of the output or something.

From a news story:
Memjet-powered printers shoot ink through 70000 nozzles to print a color, 8 1/2 x11 page in a second.
Link to another news story from last March, that says
Silverbrook plans to offer the Memjet technology as part of several products: a photo printer, which the company hopes to sell for less than $150; the 8x10 color inkjet, due to arrive at the end of 2008 for under $200; a label printer; and a large-format photo printer, expected to cost about $5,000, and capable of printing poster-sized prints "twenty times faster than anything I've ever seen," LeCompte said.
Wow. If that ends up not being vaporware, I'm totally in the market.
Yeah, if those come out I'll be buying one. I've got a printer that does around 18ppm on a moderate setting and when I'm printing out 100 page scripts and treatments it still feels way too slow.
Looking at all the articles I can google, it doesn't seem like vaporware. At least the usual markers of secrecy are not as ping-inducing.
Just looks like print evolution.
I just encountered it today, so I'm willing to believe there may be issues I have not read yet...
