Exactly! (Sorry, Peter). I like oxymorons - "appear invisible", "climb down" and, as the late great W.C. Fields once said, "The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep" ... I'll get me 'at ... M. p.s. I think that FrankT should explain the Monty Python connection for those of us of the great unwashed who have absolutely no idea what he was talking about! -----Original Message----- From: jhb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jhb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of mhl@xxxxxxx Sent: 23 August 2011 13:43 To: jhb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jhb] Re: Printer Query What Peter means is an oxymoron - like "Military Intelligence" or "Microsoft Works". The words are opposites.

I have or have had as many as 6 printers connected to my PCs, because of my work, but nowadays, I rarely print my manuals - I supply them elctronically. I have looked at printers and ink a lot over the years therefore. I bought a printer (HP1000) from Staples 4 weeks ago for £19.99. It is brilliant. Very simple - absolutely no buttons apart from an on/off switch, fast and good quality for printing text and general graphics. I don't print photos - Boots can do it far cheaper. The printer replaces an HP5600 of which I once had two - excellent machines which lasted about 9 yers before I gave one away as supernumery last year, and the other one stopped accepting refilled cartridges about 2 months ago (but I suspect the cartridge refiller's stock of 56 and 57 cartridges were getting very tired after nine years of being recycled). Of course replacement cartridges for the HP1000 will cost twice the cost of the printer and more. As I said - a palindrome. Peter
