Fist, I wanted to thank you guys for all you've done for/. and the Open Source Comunity. Second, I'm very pleased that you intend to keep/. in in it's present state. But what if? Do you have a contingency plan? What if VA decides to do something crazy? From what we know, they're intelegent sound people, but what if.... It certainly would be a shame to loose such a news outlet such as SlashDot.
I strongly reccomend the HP 1100xi. Costco typicaly has them for around $360. They're reliable, though the gravity feed on the paper tray tends to suck in more than one sheet about %2 of the time. See http://www.pandi.hp.com/pandi-db/prodinfo.main?pro duct=laserjet1100 for more info. Stay WAY AWAY from Xerox (nice high end stuff, junky low end), Canon (good cameras BAD printers), Brother (who makes Brother? They don't even know any more) and cheap Lexmarks (tasty color lasers, but their low end stuff is junk). They tend to break easily and just have that cheap feeling as you un pack them. Heck, even the cardboard they ship in is cheap.
I don't know about the rest of you kids, but when I've found a track, by whatever means, that I like, I'm more than willing to buy the CD. I'd like to know what the rest of you folks have to say on this line. Hmm, maybe a poll to this effect?
