Anyone have any recommendations for printers? I've had a Canon for about three years and it makes me crazy because about half the time it can't feed the paper and I have to restart it a couple times. Makes me nuts. I don't use it a lot, but really, it shouldn't be that hard to get a reasonably reliable home printer that doesn't cost $500.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Hey. New board.
I wonder if this is part of the reason Firefox 3 seems faster?
Might be part of it. It also seems to use more native frontend code: it feels more like a Mac program, which is partially theming, but dialogs and such are obviously native now. They've always been native in Camino.
Anyone have any recommendations for printers?
I have a cheap Brother laser printer that I got for under $100 that I like just fine. But then, I never ever need to print color or much of anything at all.

Do you still get WiFi on the bus to work?
I ride the public bus, and the WiFi is hit or miss. Mostly, as I'm sort of in writer's block land, I'm liking not having to bring my laptop on the bus with me.

Firefox 3 beta 3 is coming out soon.

Hey. New board.
Beta 3 is already out. Do you maybe mean version 4 is coming out soon, or did I just give you a new toy?

Must have been 4.
February 27, 2008 (Computerworld) For the second time in the past four weeks, Mozilla Corp. has announced a "code freeze" for a beta version of Firefox 3.0 -- this time, Beta 4 -- as it prepares another public release of the open-source browser.
The freeze was announced late Tuesday. By midday Wednesday, however, Mozilla was saying that a fifth beta might be necessary.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Beta 4 contains the code which makes it much faster on Mac OSX, IIRC. Unless you're using the nightly builds, in which case you've got the code in place.
They've rewritten the Javascript processor and fixed a load of memory leaks. It's much nicer.

Hey. New board.
Wow. I'm using Beta 3 and it feels very fast compared to previous builds. Can't wait for Beta 4 to blow my mind even more!

I'm contemplating getting my first cell phone.Connie, I have a Razr from AT&T just sitting here. Since I got the iPhone, I don't need it. I think its locked to AT&T. If your hubby is AT&T, add you in a family plan. Just needs a new SIM chip. I have the "travel" charger and the car 12v charger plus a little belt carry case.
