Plasma TV's End May Be Near

No, Laura - it's not you....Mr. Bill lives like a hermit in the forest from what I've gathered. He mentioned floppy drives the other day and I just about fell to the floor.

I take recycling to heart!

Umm, cheap TVs off of craigslist is the way to go. We got a big one for $30. It's big and if it falls on me I might die or be trapped under it....but only $30!!

You should have seen me trying to help Suj move it onto a TV stand we got(on craigslist too bahahahahaha)...I thought my arms would break off!!!

Look on the date stamp of the TV...does it say, BC (before cable)?

Do you live in a treehouse?

As far as TV goes they were talking about OLED screens as the new thing. There's been a couple of test screens at technology shows, but at the moment the size is apparently limited.

Interesting. It's amazing how technology just keep moving forward.

That's awesome. I see you've even got a reissued NES (aka "NES 2") on top of that cabinet.

I'd like to find someone who actually bought the Atari Jaguar.

Packerd Bell 9500, Laserjet II compatible. 20 years old. 300 dpi. I have not seen anyone else with a laser printer besides me, so that is what I based my assumption on. I have seen copier/printer/fax combos in commercial use, but not in personal use. Maybe I just don't get out often enough, but all I ever see are inkjets.

Most of the copier/printer/fax/scan combinations use inkjet cartridges (although some combos are laser). A lot of people like those since both the units and cartridges are less expensive. Cost is a huge factor for many people, especially with the current economy.

However, inkjet print quality is generally inferior to laser printers. Most laser printers are black-and-white (if in a combo) or color, but rarely allow for both. There are some that do (my dad has one), but they cost more. Laser print cartridges also cost a lot more than inkjet cartridges, but laser cartridges last longer.

If you mostly print reports, MS Word and PDF documents or website information, an inkjet or B&W laser printer are fine. If you're looking to print out professional quality images (photos, banners, etc), I'd highly recommend a color laser printer.

Excuse me, but I need to jump in my 1986 Chevy 3/4 ton, and go back to work!

Seriously though. Don't you run your own business?

This reminds me of that south park episode where kyle's family moves to san fran because of the hybrid car they got.

I should add that the TV we used before we got that one was from the 80's, my grandmothers old TV!! We gave it back to her once we bought our slightly more modern one. Which worked out good since her newer TV died! Maybe ours is from the early 2000's? late 90's? I have no idea, LOL. As you can tell, that's not the kind of stuff we spend the money on.

Well inkjet photo printers are pretty good quality - but for any sort of graphic design type work a color laser printer probably isn't going to cut it as far as printing options go. Especially these days - you're better off putting the files on a USB drive and running them off at a print shop.

Yep!

Well damn, brother - time to go shopping for some new computer equipment and write it off as a business expense. Floppies went out of style - like 10 years ago.

I love my 50" Toshiba DLP. Add to it the Dishnetwork High Def DVR, Blu-ray DVD, XBOX and a 500W DTS sound system and I am set.

Luz wants the new 73" DLP TV but it will have to wait for a while. In a dark room like mine the DLP looks just as good as a LCD IMHO.
