    they predicted years ago  that “paper” would be phased out  with all the new fancy  gimmicks and on-line access to info…never happened  🙂

    my recent purchase  was a 200$ cdn   Brother 2710 4 in 1  BW laser printer. works great … no Iphones for me !

    Funny story but true story.
    Years ago before my accident I built an addition on my house. I had to pick up siding pieces on a Saturday at the local lumber yard. When I walked in all of the contractors were standing against the back wall. I walked up to the counter and asked the young lady for the siding blocks that I needed, and the contractors all started laughing. She told me that “the computers were down and she couldn’t look up the parts. The tec guy will be in to fix it within an hour.”  I looked at her and said, what did you do before computers as far as looking up parts? A old white haired gentleman sitting behind a desk, got up and walked over to the counter and reached underneath it. He pulled out the four inch thick catalog and threw it on the counter, and told the girl to look up the parts for this man! She filled out a yard ticket for me, and as I walked out, I laughed at the guys standing with their backs against the back wall and went out and got my parts.
