Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I don't think I could get them to go for buying a label maker. It has taken me 5 years to convince them that printing one label to a printer shared by the entire floor when your office and computer are far away from the printer is really quite difficult. I used to have to send my student down with the labels, have her call me, and then press print. Now I am using the color printer in my office even though it apparently wastes money because the ink costs more. I am supposedly getting a black and white printer soon, but it has been 2 years since we were first approved.

I might could look in to that. Newfangled technology to replace what the oldfangled technology did just fine. OK, I'm not really that cranky about technology. Clearly. I'm here via it. I still want a typewriter. Nostalgia.

Thank you. I could buy it myself, but it would never get approved here because if I had one, all the other AA's would want one. I might be able to spin it as a savings over the cost of a printer, though, since I really only want the printer to make labels!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Or you could hide it someplace and only bring it out when you want to print that one label (so you can in the darkness bind them?).

In re wireless ... several years ago someone got the bright idea to buy a bunch of wireless mouses for the office computers. The guy in charge (whose knowledge of technology was, to put it generously, sketchy) had an intern do the software install. All went well for a while. And then the screaming started. Literally. She hadn't read the instructions closely enough to realize that they had to be put on different channels. Especially in a closely packed open office. So one person would move their mouse and someone else's cursor would go running across their screen.

Good times.

So wouldn't this mean that you could change the channel your mouse is on and continue to wreak havoc?

Not dot matrix, really, but I do miss printers that just f*cking worked.

And what halcyon era was this? You may remember how the Jeff Goldblum character in Independence Day managed to make his laptop talk to an alien computer? At that point in the movie, I burst into hysterical laughter, because I had spent the entire day trying to get my work computer talk to a printer, and both my computer and printer were allegedly built by humans.
