What are you doing Dave ?

I recently bought a new printer/scanner/copier/coffee maker/etc. I needed to as my attempts to get my original printer working again resulted in irreparable damage.. Not my fault I assure you ... Anyway, this new one, A Lexmark if you are interested, was not only cheap & a damn good buy, but it would appear to have a mind of its own. It switches itself on & off, & I have noticed that it also holds quite a good conversation with you.. Truely. It tells you if it actually is going to print, that it has started printing & that it has finished printing. To an old hippy this is scary shit..
