I’m fairly lucky. I have two brothers with the urge to have the newest toy to play with, and I get their old printers, hard drives and scanners. I’m waiting for one to fork over a digital camera. They both use HP products.

OTOH as a (former) R&D engineer I am professionally trained to avoid the bleeding edge of technology. It's fine for me to develop for others (to buy) but for me... that's why the motherboard BIOS on this machine is dated 2002. They should have most of the bugs out by now. *\;-)
