Handle With Care

Last weekend, I finally bought a new printer. I have been without a printer for at least two years--an inconvenience which has forced me to spend a portion of almost every weekend at the college campus so that I could print things out. At least printing there was free.

I have bad luck with printers. They are such fragile, tempermental things. My last printer just died unexpectedly. I couldn't get it to connect with my previous computer nor with my current computer. The printer I owned before that was nice and compact and served me well until the ink drum exploded one day, spilling ink dust on the carpet.

I got my new printer for under $80, but it's one of those nice all-in-one, print/scan/copy things which should serve me well in the upcoming fall semester--if it doesn't die before then.
