I thought about a all-in-one approach, since I need a printer too. |
| 19 |
Thing is, printers seems to break a lot. The cheapos may last a few |
| 20 |
years, from past experience, but die shortly after the warranty does. |
| 21 |
So, I wanted a stand alone scanner that I hope will last me a long |
| 22 |
time. Plus, this scanner can do negatives and such with a adapter which |
| 23 |
I can get later. Also, I plan to get a color laser printer later on. |
| 24 |
From what I've read, they can last for many years and it's cheaper for |
| 25 |
the toner than all those cartridges etc for ink jets. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Now if someone local wanted to give me something that is like a fancy |
| 28 |
copy machine that prints, scans and maybe even washes dishes, I'd take |
| 29 |
it. I'm not sure where I would put it but still. ;-) |

One thing I've figured out. Cheaper on the front end, pay for it on the |
| 32 |
backend. Pay a little more on the front end, more dependable and |
| 33 |
cheaper later on consumables. Hey, at least I'm figuring it out. lol |
