I once had a Canon Bubblejet black ink printer, BJ300 IIRC. That was a fantastic printer that could print really really fine lines. I screwed it up by going with an after market ink.
I gave up on inkjets some time back because of low use - if I didn't use them every day or so, the heads clogged up - or the cartridges if they had an integral head. We currently have one Brother color laser and two Brother B&W lasers. Best Buy has a Brother color laser for under $200.
No plows. If it doesn't melt by noon, it probably will by tomorrow noon. ;-) I have a picture of our house just after "Snowmageddon" (closed the city down for three days - we were without power for 30 hours). You can still see the shingles on the roof. The problemis that if the sun doesn't immediatly melt the snow on the roads, it turns right to ice.
I lived in Northern Vermont for fifteen years (and twenty years in New York, before that). I've seen, and shoveled, more snow than I care to.
We moved South for a reason. The year we left Vermont, we had 36" on Valentines day and 24" on St. Paddy's day. Enough is enough! ;-)
I was just being as logical as you are. I can see that you don't like the competition.
You gave no such thing. You've just tried to make the irrelevant somehow relevant. It didn't work. You're just spouting nonsense.
You really are an idiot's idiot.
I looked at a lot of reviews before I bought the Canon. There are a lot of people using the after-market inks successfully and they have good reviews, so...
That's what I'm afraid of but SWMBO wants to print pictures of the granddaughter. That's not in the perview of reasonably priced laser printers. If it doesn't work out, I'll just mark it up to an experiment gone wrong. Printers are cheap enough that it really doesn't matter.
I've used a Canon Pixma with good results. I know it would sit for weeks between uses but was already to go. Each color has its own cartridge. I've printed a few albums on it, mostly 4 x 6 but have done
8 x 10.
Thanks. That's what it is, a Pixma MX922. I hope I have good luck, too. The ratings were fairly high.
Laser printers still are well behind in color picture quality compared to even really cheap ink jets. I had the same delemma, my ink jet died from lack of use and always suffered dried ink clots. I replaced it with a Xerox 680 color laser (this was about 10 years ago). The duplex feeder is great and the color, at least for photos, is not bad, just not "great", although that is not what my intended use was.
Hot wax printers are a bit better, but power hungry since they stay "hot" 24/7. Note this was based on the info I had gathered a decade ago and lasers probably have improved, but I still doubt they can produce photo quality stuff.

the program can only be used by defining parts programatically
there is no mouse interface at all
the built in editor is not much help it does not do function completion or anything thing like that
but they are not even at version 1 yet so it is a wip
not *especially* appealing.
nor are mouse-only navigable sites, for me
Yeah, I was surprised the graphical operating systems like Windows have flourished the way they did. Though, I also didn't foresee the day when everyone would want a computer. That was back when we used monochrome monitors.
>
And a graphic monitor emulated a Textronics! I bought one of those (as a business expense) for $999!
And I didn't think much of Windows either. But I never foresaw online shopping and tutorials. Although I still prefer clicking on a menu list to searching a cluttered screen for the right icon :-).
Was that "vector graphics"?
Yeah, me too. I laugh at myself, I may never be a stock picker. I didn't like Apple when it was a new company. And I was ready to click the buy button for Amazon (AMZN) for $42 when shares first started trading, and I let someone on CNBC talk me out of it because "it was only a book store". I've still owned it over short periods, but a missed the chance for a a 20-1 return! I probably could have never hung onto it after doubling my money anyway.
I don't remember - but the name is familiar so it might have been. I do remember it was the first graphics terminal for under $1K and had its own language as well as the emulation. I tried to sell mine many years later and it wound up in the dumpster for lack of interest :-).
I forsaw that day before the microprocessor existed.
That goes without saying. ; )
We used the Tektroniix vector graphics storage tubes for electronics design in the '70s. They were connected to IBM terminals, so we had dual screens, one for editing and the other for graphics. I'm sure there were at least 500 sets on site.
I had my wife buy Apple in her 401K when it was around $10. She sold half at $20 and the other half a $40. Didn't want to get greedy. ;-)
For (data) files, certainly. For programs, not so much. I know where they are on the desktop anyway.
It's rather sad that so few of the "visionaries" in the early days saw it coming.
Textronics is, or was, a brand. I learned "graphics programming on one of their monitors, but it was "raster graphics" (i.e. modern). It had it's own graphics library that was linked to during compilation, to draw line segments, etc. Of course, the Java programming language does too. I haven't seen the standard library for a modern GPU, though surely it has to exist at multiple levels (machine language, and high-level user-invoked functions, in particular).
