No more enhanced unless…

Hello,

I have noticed that the enhanced podcast that I did two days ago has had no comments on the blog! If nobody is enjoying the enhanced podcast, there is no sense in doing it. I am happy to do it if you would like. If you want the enhanced version back, email me here.

Review Of Photosmart C4280 All-In-One Printer

Well, I have gotten a new printer! I got it free! Here is the back story. When I bought my MacBook on January 6th, I had forgotten that if you buy a new Mac that you get a $100 mail-in rebate on a printer of your choice. They had neglected to tell me that, and, while browsing the store yesterday, I decided to bring it to their attention.

I went up to the register and asked the woman about this problem. She was kind of, well, something I won’t talk about on this blog. But she did get the manager, who was much nicer. He helped me through the issue and gave me my printer. I chose the HP Photosmart C4280, which is a printer-scanner-copier hybrid. It rocks! It comes with HP vivera cartrige support, and the black cartridge that came with this was full! What a nice surprise! The printer is also very fast, and the claims for the speed work great. It has a card reader on the front and that would have worked great, but my card didn’t work because it was formatted wrong. The printer is not Leopard-compatible out of the box, but on HP.com there is a free update that you can download. I downloaded that and all of the features work flawlessly. It also has a color 1.5" LCD on the front. You can purchase the printer on Amazon here or visit the official page here.

Looking for a Sponsor

Hi,

As many of my listeners know, I am in great need of a new FireWire mixer. Being only a teenager, I am unable to afford one. Having one would make my podcast better. If I am donated a mixer, preferably something such as an Alesis MultiMix 12 Firewire, then that would be ideal to improving my podcast. I would run your ads on the show 100 runs in 50 episodes, and if you are interested in being a sponsor that would be much appreciated. Please email me if you are interested.
