Could it be? L-U-V?

My heart is fluttering with anticipation. I gaze in admiration to the beauty that has entered my house. I caress her supple curves and say that everything will be all right.

But I'm going to take it slow after tonight.

I think it will be better in the long run if I keep it that way.

It only has a one year warranty, after all...

Yup. NEW PRINTER, BAY-BEE!!!!

Got myself a sweet deal on an HP Deskjet 940c. Thanks to my store's Discontinued sale (25% for customers, 40%(!) off for employees), I got it for $55. Almost brand-spankin' new! With extra ink thrown in, just in case!

And, because I could afford it, I bought myself a Game Boy Advance for $60. Gotta love those store deals...

So now I can actually print out stuff, instead of worrying about sending it out to a printing place, or trying to see if Canton's comp and actually print out the things I make. (I tend to work exclusively in pagination and photo-editing software. Quark XPress, Photoshop, etc...)

Ha ha ha haaaaa... I haven't felt this happy in a while!

(Which begs the question? Am I that much of a tech freak? Was I this way prior to working at RadioShack? And should a new-to-me printer really stir such feelings, EVEN if it has PostScript capability?)

I'm starting to get replies back from last column. Thanks to all who have taken the time out to tell me that they read my stuff. Too bad I already knew about them...

And, no, I can understand some basic things about my audience.

Yes, Red. I know that I write in a not-so-serious tone, which does make for people finding my rants pretty funny.

And, apparently, a flipping-out Jago is inherently funny, according to Dev.

Still, I'm not retracting the "sickos" label...Just like I'm not retracting my thought that I am a whore.

Some things are just that simple...
