Cool! I just retired a HP IIp Plus that was around 20 or more years old...and I have a 15-year-old Deskjet 1120c that's still going strong. to USB adaptors.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-01-2009 01:14 PM                     Yea, I had an H-P 4p for over 15 years and I gave it to someone else and they are still using it!! Nice thing is the toner catdridges print about 1500 pages... unlike the new printers of today where you are lucky to get a few hundred pages out of one.

The Konica-Minolta officer printer with EFI Fiery RIP gets more use, although the 1220C is more simple and straight-forward to use.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Pages still look great...never a lick of trouble.

Fairly proud of the fact that, tax included, I spent about 172 on what normally would cost 380. No one works coupons and sales like me!  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 10-05-2009 03:27 PM                     quote: Fairly proud of the fact that, tax included, I spent about 172 on what normally would cost 380.

When I was younger, my grandma loved this suit that my mom had gotten me for a cruise... until she found out we got it for $12 at a thrift store.  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-05-2009 04:01 PM                     I bought my son a play system since they were on big, fat sale for the end of the season and the truck freight was free. I will have to buy the wood to build it but it will still be less than half the cost of a prebuilt one. i.e. Rainbow Play Systems I also bought a lot of add-ons like monkey bars and things not shown. We will be the favorite house on the block for all of the kids. At least then I know where my son is so I know he isn't getting into trouble like his old man used to do.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 10-05-2009 04:03 PM                     Finally dipped into the HDTV world: gave our Sanyo 25inch TV to my folks and bought us a Visio 37inch, 1080p LCD flat screen from WallyWorld.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-05-2009 08:31 PM                        HP P1600 laser printer for the Roxy - $99 at amazon.com Also just finished watching my purchase from a couple of weeks ago, the original Woodstock movie.

I have been watching ebay and other places for at least two years for a good one at a good price. A local one popped up on ebay last week and I won the auction yesterday. I should be getting it sometime this week. Too bad winter is coming. Maybe I will just have to mow the snow.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-12-2009 10:28 AM                     Mow all the snow out of your driveway! Who needs a snowblower? Or you could just mow the leaves after they fall off the trees. Who needs rakes?  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-12-2009 10:59 AM                     I actually do run my current lawnmower over the leaves. We have about 1/2 acre of lawn and I tried raking the leaves the first year we lived here. We have a lot of mature trees in our yard and woods on the other 3/4 acre behind our house so we get lots of leaves. After raking up around 50 large 30gal lawn bags of leaves the first year, I promptly went out and bought a commercial backpack blower for the next season. I used that for a few years too but it still took several hours everytime I had to clean up leaves (I usually have to do about 4 cleanings). Then I got smart and started running my lawn tractor with a bagger over them and that made it a much quicker job.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-13-2009 09:57 AM                     I mow the leaves until they get too heavy to handle with the mower. If you keep the lawn mowed short before the leaves fall, it's much easier to manage the leaves. Therefore, you should take the time to try out your new mower if you can.  |  IP: Logged
