Comment Re:If you want to print photos (Score 1) 89

I always use inkjet for photos. LIke you said, the toner just doesn't pop. I believe it's more because the ink "sits" on the paper, but with toner, it is melted into the paper during fusing. But I have seen the higher end production Xerox boxes (V-280's) produce pretty good photo quality on the right paper, but LOL, those machines when configured are up to 20 feet long with all the add on do-dads, plus requiring 220 V along with 4-5 or more 110 V depending on the add on options. It's one of the benefits to being in the printer/copier business (service side). I don't have a home printer. On the rare times I need to print something, I've got anything I want at my fingertips.

Comment Brother (Score 2) 89

We sell HP, Brother, Xerox, Toshiba, Epson (along with KIP wide format) Stay AWAY from the smaller Xerox C-405's if you find one. The 415's are better. But the one's we seem to have the LEAST amount of trouble are the Brothers. I don't know what your price range is, but these are great! MFCL3780CDW Full color, also single scan duplex, 31ppm. Gigabit Ethernet, dual band wireless. I try to get people to shy away from inkjet in a home environment unless they use them daily. The ink heads just plug up too often.

Comment Go after the overhead cables! (Score 1) 49

Shoot, 5-6 years ago one of the at&t techs told me that most of the overhead "trunk lines" have been abandoned, save for a few old folks that still had POTS lines for phones, or a few business alarm systems, which have now been abandoned for LTE. Yeah, it would be harder to get to the copper lines on the poles, not to mention burning off the insulation, but these copper pirates are stupid enough to try it.

Comment My science teacher in the 70's (Score 1) 122

There was construction starting on a nuclear plant, 15 miles from where I lived in 1975. As our science class was about to start we were talking about that plant so close to where we lived and some were saying if it blew up we'd all be killed. The science teacher (older man in his 50's) heard us and when the bell rang he said we were not going to have class today, but talk about nuclear energy. In the course of an hour, he drew on the chalkboard (think analog whiteboard LOL), how a nuclear power plant works, how the rods are controlled, safety, backups pretty much everything. (he was really a smart teacher too!). By the time the class was over, no one in the class though of nuclear power in a negative way. It's just a giant "steam engine" to turn generators. That plant has been in operation since 1984. And without any issues. It was upgraded in the early 2000's.

Comment Bush already cleaned house (Score 1) 39

When Bush was head of the CIA, you know he "cleaned house" and destroyed any good evidence. I was 4 years old when that happened. Only thing I remember about it was the Saturday cartoons were not on because of it. Didn't understand it then... Anyone connected to the assassination if they were 20 years old is in their 80's today, if it was a conspiracy, they are either dead or almost dead, so what good would it do to "find the answer" if there was one? Hold the children who's parent(s) did it responsible? Just let it go!
