Well it seems all good things must come to an end or at least that is the theme playing out in my head right now. My laptop died and I had to get a new one. My airport router died and I had to get a new one. My external hard disk drive died and I had to get a new one. Yesterday my printer died and I had to get a new one. I believe I’ll call it a day.
Considering this was my year to not purchase one thing and I have had to purchase that many things – I’m spent out on consumer electronics. The good news today was that Hewlett Packard gave me a substantial discount because I’ve been a loyal customer for over two decades. They gave me a printer that normally sells for $150 at $79 with free shipping, free ink, and an extended warranty for only $1. Can’t beat it with a stick. This upgraded printer has separate color ink cartridges so it prints better photos and it also scans better – so now after a long delay I can finally go back to scanning the family photo – a project I started now two years ago.
