Wireless Printer - HP 7100

taz8080 | 0 Comments

Ok let me say that this printer was a gift for my wife mostly, but I have to admit that it is pretty sweet. The HP 7100 does it all, it slices it dices, actually it is a scanner, fax, copier, printer all in one. It also has wireless connectivity as well as Bluetooth. The printer was a breeze to set up and has the ability to print photos form both a USB source and memory card slots built into the side of the printer. I hooked it right into my wireless network and it works great, I can print from any laptop easily. The print quality for photos is also high quality, all in all the HP 7100 is a nice piece of equipment that is easy to use and versatile and I am still getting used to my wife printing form the other room and having it spit out at the printer.

Overall Rating : 9.5 out of 10 (It is a bit large so it lost 0.5 points.)

January 25 - 31 is now the newest holiday - Winter-een-mas- a gaming holiday for all to enjoy. Ok so this isn’t a real government holiday, but a made up holiday from a character on a cartoon website known as Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but it’s the thought that counts. I mean gaming is reaching new heights, online gaming, tournaments, professional gaming, in game marketing, merchandising and now even a pseudo holiday. Many people gather around at this time and have huge LAN parties in the spirit of good gaming, maybe Winter-een-mas will continue to gain popularity like a snowball rolling down a hill?

What is Winter-een-mas? When exactly is Winter-een-mas?

So I decide to visit my cousin who lives near Woodbury Commons in NY for New Years and we decide to hit up a Best Buy. We walk in on a quest for Mario Hoops and Naruto for the DS, during the car ride over my cousin tells me how a buddy of his had found him a PS3 earlier in the week, but he decided against it and would wait until he finds one himself in a store. We walk over to the electronics department and look through the DS stuff and find what we are looking for, so I decide to ask the kid in electronics my stupid question of the day… “So do you have any Wii’s or PS3’s?”. Typically this question gets back a smile or laugh or even a go fuck yourself look but not on this day, the kid looked at me and said “I have a few PS3’s but no Wii’s.” I have to say the look on our faces was like that of a kid being told he could watch free porn, we quickly walked over to the table he instructed us to and my cousin grabbed his 60 Gb version, while I waited for them to bring out a couple more. They brought out a hand truck loaded with 60 Gb PS3’s, I thought I was hallucinating, but no they were all real. I stood there with a PS3 in one hand and Resistance Fall of Man in the other and thought to myself should I do this??? Being an avid gamer this was the hardest decision of my life, getting a system that so many craze and desire or being realistic when I figured that the system ($600), the controller ($50) and a game ($60) would be a hefty price tag to swallow after getting a new DS to go with my PSP and 360. Too many games, not enough cash and too little time made me decide against it, I know I must be crazy for giving it up but I think I can wait. I did also realize something else and that is this whole myth about the new systems being unavailable until March is bullshit! That Best Buy had a stack of them in broad daylight months before the predicted March deadline, I think you will see many more systems creeping up within the next few weeks as the hype and deflated demand are no longer necessary before the holidays.
