Finally! I talked about printers! And a great Christmas present for just about anyone, the Flip Video Cam.First the Flip…
I’ve had a flip for I think almost 3 years now. What a wonderful purchase. It is simple to use, basically point and shoot. It is easy to download the movies to your computer, just open the USB connection on the side of the unit, and plug it into your computer. There is software that will be installed to your computer, and all your videos downloaded to a movie folder. You can edit the movies using the software, save in internet ready formats, and upload to your favorite video sharing web sites, like YouTube, Vimeo (my fave) Viddler, etc. Simple and fun.
Now for the printers, the review post that I had posted to this site yesterday has the complete overview of what they like for top ten. Out of them, I saw this gem for only $150, the HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One :

What is nice about this one, besides the very friendly price, is that it is an all in one, AND wireless. We like wireless. That means that you can connect to it from your laptop in the living room to print something, when your desktop is not even turned on, since the printer is on your wireless network, not “on” a computer. Makes it sweet. Yes, it is an HP and I expect it to be louder than the Epsons, Canons etc, but also being an HP, it lasts and lasts and lasts.
Hope you all have a safe holiday and see you in January.
