What would you buy for a printer these days?

Let’s just say you won’t buy that dot matrix printer for sale on ebay. If you think anything is as good as anything else, well, you’d be wrong.

First off, you really don’t want to save some bucks with printing cheats. I mean, if you don’t want to throw your money away there are plenty of ways, your printing should not be it. Mock me not on this, cheap cartridges are not a way of saving money.

Office printing should be a quality product of yours, no matter what your printing, it sell a good amount of your corporate image, so don’t go cheap on this.

This was going to be a really long post about web office suites. but I found this video from common craft that really says it all and I do not want to exceed myself.

Have you ever found yourself in a position where you need X and X is not around?

Well, it hapens to me all the time and I always get the feeling that there shoud be a pen or something with a shape factor that is resistant to everything and it is not necessarily a VictorInox Swiss Army Knife.

So I went and tried to find something like that and this is what I came up with.

But what I think a multi pen should have is

1. Laser pointer
2. Usb pen drive
3. Bluetooth or radio presentation controler
4. Roller ball
5. voice recorder

And I’ll stop just because I think it is going out of hand (price wise). I’ll settle for 3 of the above

The Asus EEE, for those of you who haven’t heard of it yet, is a UMPC that costs 400 bucks in the US and come (as you read) in Windows and Xandros flavours. It supports a 2 GB expansion and etc, etc etc.

Talking of it like that is really boring, you can read that, by better informed people elsewhere. What I want to tell you is who should buy it and who shouldn’t.

• Salesmen: This is great for you, only thing to care about is battery life. But with a car charger it’ll all be good.
• Designers: You need to buy it if you’re the PowerPoint presentation kind of guy. If not this is not an option, a 7 in. screen is no place to work, and though you could plug in a mouse, it would be very uncomfortable to design on it.
• Bars: no use for you guys
• The integrated camera and the ability to connect to the world via WiFi makes this gadget a must have tool for the average executive.  Word and Excel documents are easily modified and reviewed and your mail will be with you… always.
• If I was a writer this would be my travel machine, it’s really light and maybe the keyboard is too small, but that is not really something that will make you uncomfortable.
