i have this: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDe tail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=41642105 epspon photomate. at $150, it prints 4x6 prints full-bleed wonderfully (without the need for cropping)
we've been printing for 6 months, on the epson ink/paper combo (permabrite ?) and it looks great, with no short-term fading at all.
A pro-photographer friend of mine, who has large epson printers, swears by the Epson special ink/paper combo: he backs up Epson's statement: "'.. And, PictureMate photos will last longer than all the alternatives available today - about 2 to 4 times longer than photo lab prints...."
i use this little box to pring out the 4x6 snaps instead of using shutterfly, but i use them for larger sizes, etc. It's $29.99 retail for the 7 color ink pack and 100 sheets of paper, so about $0.25 per print, after HW costs.
it's very small and portable (see the handle) and although you could use it via USB to Mac or XP, as a real printer, we use our CF/SD cards to print, as i have enough USB cables.
Nikon D70 -> CF-card-reader -> Photoshop (XP or OS X) -> "finals" back on CF -> Picture mate (so we don't waste printing a contact sheet).
Some of the larger units by HP or Epson have an LCD dislpay so you can 'see' what you want, but we always touch up with software via our laptop(s), and like the portability, so we don't miss an LCD on the printer. But if you want camera->printer without a laptop, an LCD wouldn't hurt.

the responsibility should be the users' for the router firewall.
a broadband provider provided a new client of mine a modem/router combo with their newly subscribed connection- and wouldn't take it back.
what a pain. it took an act of god for them to tell us what the admin username/pw was on this combo-unit; I just wanted to get DMZ & port forwarding set up for remote access to this site (via dynsns.org) as we already had a firewall all configured fine, and ready to go; now we're double nating, and i needed to change the address space on the lan, to b/c the nat range behind their Firewall was fixed and GUESS WHAT happened to match what we already had at this site. oh joy.
what should've cost them.5 hrs of site time took 2.5 thanks to the stubbornness of the ISPs techs not wanting me to get root access to this router of theirs, and the lack of configuration on the unit, and their iron-fist policy on us using it.

I have family living in B.A. - I visited Arg. for a few weeks last November. After looking at miles of black and white marble columns and hand-worked wrought-iron that enclosed their WATER PROCESSING PLANT in B.A. - I felt no pity for the bureaucrats at this service arm who now cry poor. The unabashed "we are Euro, ergo better than the rest of [south] America, so let's have palacial water plants..." The whole place was shocking. (parts beautiful, yes) But the officials I met.... inept, corrupt, nepitistic, backwards - maybe they should get their house in order before looking to "suggest" some of their 'winning insight' to the rest of us.
(did you hear about the folks of B.A. suing a new (chilean owned) utility that, after months of written warnings removed the power-leacher-wires from the poles? Yep, they had the audacity to sue the company for cutting them off b/c they'd tapped in illegally. It's still in the courts, the folks there think "it is our right to have electricity" - just as it is this guys' "right" to have a say on riding coat-tails.)
DON'T use disk utilities to format the disk. Rather, use the 10.3 CD as such: insert into the PB, select, either "archive and install" or "clean install" - and it'll reboot and deal w/ the existing OS (10.2.x) as spec'd, then put on 10.3.
IF you format your disk manually, thereby removing 10.2.x BEFORE introducing your 10.3 disk, it WILL NOT INSTALL. (IT NEEDS TO SEE A PREV. VERSION ON THERE)
As far as cases, i just got a "sleeve" case from Waterfield Designs for my 15" PB 1.25 ghz, FW800. fits much nicer than my coworkers 'incase'.

both the 'yellow' eTrex and the eTrex Venture use the worst internal antenna on the market (the Garmin 'patch' antenna)
both have very poor reception under moderate cover.
WAAS may help, may not, but get a better antenna than any eTrex has for better accuracy.
don't beleive me? go to www.geocaching.com forums and see the complaints by eTrex owners who can't find the spots under trees (and they're talking 25m+ in-accuracies, if not total receptoin loss)

external memory: the Mag' meridians have the ability to save your multitude of tracks/routes to swappable SD memory cards- this allows you to use an SD (USB) card reader to later DUMP your data files to your pc/laptop- this way you don't have to take with along all of the time.
and unlike garmin models, the 'make route (from track)' uses all of the trackpoints (memory limited)- so with your many ($44) 64mb cards, you may find that you can track for, say, 18 hours (it's a hypothetical number)- whereas with garmins, you'd need to take the laptop- b/c when they save routes to tracks on the GPSr- they don't use ALL the trackpoints (breadcrumbs) they use only some, so your get a much 'rougher' faceted travel path.
all the newer magellans can communicate detailed info with your laptop (thanks to the NMEA data stream they support)

don't use the Visor Deluxe- get the edge at least.
the slower proc. in the Deluxe makes accuracy and tracking and pans/zooms poor by comparison- plus more batteries to consider. (i would not use the palm/gps unit combo- get a dedicated unit; I should know, i tried both- for my Palm Vx and my Visor deluxe- but still bought a dedicated unit)
for capacity and laptop compatibility- get the new Magellan Meridian Platinum $300+ retail, you can find for $264 online. they use 8-64 mb SD cards, you can upload/download tracks to them at will, separate from the 16mb basemap of the US (the largest basemap around)- oh, and with BIOS updates, the will be able to us the 128+mb SD cards.
plus, unlike current Garmin Models (including the new 76s) when you make your track into a 'route' it uses all of the trackpoints not just 'some' so it doesn't cut corners, etc.
i have the predocessor (Magellan Map 330), but considering your budget, the SD card capability of the Meridians is the way to go (much better antenna then the garmin unit with external memory- the eMap)
