Those are nice little printers @olbriar. We use them here at work for the executives to have a personal printer in their offices rather than have to get up and print confidential documents on the print server.

It seems decent enough @lunatic59 . I've already discovered something that's less than desirable however. To print an envelope you must first disengage the main paper tray via two levers accessed from the back panel. Then reset the printer to draw from the hand fed hopper. I so keep the rear of my printers so that I can quickly access the back.. sheesh. Oh well, it was plenty cheap. I'll deal with it.

If you set your envelope to print from the rear tray, you won't have to remove the paper tray. Envelopes are never easy.

That sucks @rootabaga! FedEx is the worst, they always deliver stuff to wrong houses here. One place I buy from uses them and when it says it was delivered I have to go look for my box or wait for a nice neighbor to bring it to me.

I hope you get it all straightened out without too much trouble!! Stupid FedEx, grrrr

Finally got the image I needed for the Pi 3B+, and today I picked up these-

The case is clear which I wasn't sure I'd like but it actually made assembly easier since I could see everything (it was a bit tricky getting the screen/Pi assembly to seat into its proper position), and I can see the blinky-lights on the Pi which is helpful.

Well it's these. I thought a nice easy brake job before my MOT as it was sounding like metal on metal when I broke. Nothing's ever simple in my life though. During the job I realised a brake caliper was screwed. If I hadn't just paid someone £450 to change my clutch I might've been able to afford the caliper. As it stands I'm not driving anywhere in a while. Every cloud silver lining though I suppose. The weeks train fare costs less than the weeks petrol

Finally pulled the trigger. I have been holding off because I didn't want to spend too much for a new Android wear (yea yea I know) watch. The Moto 360v2 shall be retired.

I grabbed this today (or will be on lunch) at a huge discount. Brand new not refurb, $155.16 with tax. SMOKING DEAL from Fossil direct. Ordered and paid online, picking up in store.

I'm very excited, both from reviews, word of mouth and checking it out in person.

I'll let ya know what I think, when I think it.

Jealous. I'm hoping to trip over one cheap, it's nothing more than a toy for me but dang does it look fun.

Thats exactly what I did... in the UK CEX have some for £20....

Now.. it sucks battery like nobodies business... and does get rather warm rather quickly... throwing messages out for heat issues... but thats probably a good thing, because otherwise i'd never come out.

This came over the weekend. It's doing a fine job! There is no place to really put my phone in my car and this is a good solution. I don't like the vent clip ones and didn't want to stick something on the windshield again.

Not exactly my last purchase, but certainly one of the coolest. (Plus I didn’t technically pay for it.) The insurance company used to suggest we should have a piece of the rock, but I think a piece of the moon is a little better...

That's one of the coolest things I've seen in this thread.

Congrats @rootabaga. You'll be paying that off ... indefinitely. (But it's worth it. )

 

[olbriar]

Way happy for you @rootabaga. All other life investments will pale in comparison.
