Re: OT- new toy

I think the all in ones work fine for a lot of people. I have the space for separate pieces and prefer it that way. If the scanner needed repair/replacement, I wouldn't want to be without my printer during the wait. I am sure they are quick about it, I just feel uneasy about it. Also, I use a 13x19 capable printer so I can print large format pieces when needed. Large format all in ones didn't used to be available, but I think they may be now.
I've used all-in ones and I think they're great until they break. I had a nightmare time with one when I worked at the hearing aid place, but for home use, I think they make a lot of sense.

Have fun with it Auralie. The printer we got last year was about half the
size of our previous one. Now I have more desk space for papers to pile up. 
LOL. I'm sure you're more organized than me.

Good for you, Auralie.  I'm glad you stood your ground, and I know you'll
be thrilled with all the bells and whistles that came with your new
machine.

Just bought myself a new toy.  My large 15-yr.-old Canon copier decided
not
to make any more copies.  It's been baulky for a while, so I wasn't too
surprised.
What I found at Staples was a combination copier, fax, and scanner for
considerably less money than I had paid for the original copier.  This
one is
a Brother, prints in color and will auto-feed up to 15 pages.  Chet
wanted to
buy a big, heavy-duty Canon again, but I couldn't see the justification
for
it.
I do a lot of desk-top publishing, but not enough for an office-level
machine.
He used to have a Brother printer some years ago, and doesn't remember
that it gave him any trouble.  I bought a 3-year service contract that
will
just
replace it if anything goes wrong.  Who knows, three years may be more
than I will need it anyway.
The best thing is that this machine is compact - much smaller than the
old copier, and additionally will replace my old fax machine and
scanner -
both of which are rather large. I don't know what I will do with all the 
extra
space on my desk.
Have any of you had experience with Brother machines?  I think Chet was
just shopping names - like insisting he had to have a Nikon camera when
he wasn't much of a photographer anyway.
