While I'm on a roll...Printers!

Well, I've been looking for a printer lately. I need one fast, before school gets into full swing. I've done a ton of research, and found one website extremely helpful because it is unbiased and thorough. I thought I'd share it with you as a resource if you're in the business for a new printer. Yes, it's a UK production, so everything is indicated in Euros, but the reviews are stellar.

Other good resources are Kim Komando, who also puts out an excellent newsletter regarding computer know-how that's easy to understand; and Cnet.com, who rates products on the standard 1 to 10 scale.

I think I've settled on the Canon MP600. I'm going to read a bit more, & then I'll let you know for sure, but this seems to be the best multifunction printer for the price range.
