What the hell?

Thankee thankee

Once again, my family continues to amaze me. The first live session I ran week one of the course, my printer died. I was sad, but hey, it was nothing I was about to replace. My more immediate concerns focused on screen size. I'm a space junkie. It's why nearly a third of my computer expenses when I purchased a desktop were allocated to 19 inches of viewable screen. (Due to sibling intervention - and unsupervised decision making - my beautiful monitor has established a relationship with a PC that has an embarrassingly slow chip. The word pentium is not in its vocabulary.) I've been torn about splurging (on credit of course:) for a new monitor but haven't had the guts to do so. When the printer died I was pissed, but resolved to make do with diskettes and frequent runs to the other printer in the house.

Today a brand-spanking new HP materialized in the abode. And I said earlier, my family is amazing.

Better than Christmas, the object of my affections:
HP 7150

I can NOT wait to have that puppy up and running. If I had gone out and purchased a new printer I would have skimped and focused on b&w printing. The newbie prints amazing color photo quality. There's even a photo cartridge! In the past my printers have relied on tri-color to produce images. No longer. Yay!
