Gee whiz...did this pile of junk ever upset me. All I wanted was to get a couple of ideas on paper, and I ended up jotting them down by hand. This thing took 5 minutes to warm up, and then the paper jammed. I tried to unjam it, and finally got the paper out. But the darned thing kept giving me the "off-line" light. I thought it was a great deal to get a printer for under 150 bucks, but I guess I was wrong. Printers in this price range offer a few frills, but durability is nowhere to be seen. After fiddling with it some more, I managed to begin running a few sheets off. However, the printout was not the high resolution I was promised, and looked like a second rate draft output. I suggest you spend $150 more and get a cheapie laser printer. You can't go wrong, and the cost per sheet ends up being less that the inkjet, even when you take the extra cost into account. Then take the inkjet and toss it into the trash, or use it as a paperweight.

Killer Butterflies invade US Waltonville, Texas - A gaggle of butterflies, identified as Mexican Killer Butterflies, crossed the border and are roosting in a small town in Texas. The butterfly is almost an inch wide, and has blue and yellow wings. The key feature is it's large eyes. They glow in darkness, and can visualize images up to a mile away. Their keen sense of smell has proven to be it's main weapon, able to detect aromas at great distances. The Mexican butterfly is a meat eater, and is able to bite small chunks of flesh from even the toughest hides. Several dogs had gone missing, and their corpses were discovered near their main nesting place. Should you run into any Mexican butterflies, do not try to run - Lie on the ground and cover your head and groin area, to avoid the brunt of their poisonous bites. Please alert your local police department should you become aware of their presence in your area. The poison of the Mexican butterfly has no known antidote. |
