Just a bunch of random thought this morning.
I see where our local KMart is recycling ink cartridges and old cell phones. The local high school gets a donation based on how many get dropped off. Do your part and don't throw away these items. The US needs so many more recycling programs. We waste more then most nations produce. Keep it green!
Today's Windows Vista rant. For whatever reason, Windows Vista Business has no way to burn a DVD. Only Windows Home Premium and Windows Ultimate have that capability. Hmm seems Microsoft doesn't think business people make DVD presentations. That's novel. Fortunately there are several free or inexpensive programs out on the net that can help. It seems Microsoft is using the leave out key ingredients to make you UPGRADE to their Windows Vista Ultimate program. That's how you make a buck.
Another way is the HP model on printers. Generally give the printer away and then charge an arm and two legs for the cartridges. I saw a cheap HP printer for $49.00 after rebates. To replace the ink cartridges? $60.00 for the two. Economically seems like you just buy another printer. This is one crazy strategy. (I think its the Gillette razor strategy - Give away the razor, make money on the blades).
HP also has a new computer designed for the kitchen. It has a cleanable touchscreen monitor (no mouse) and is a small form factor (small box). It can be placed in any nook and can also take TV input. Costs around $1800, so we'll see if all the hip kitchens start putting one in.
I think I'm randomizing too much, so hopefully I'll be more focused tomorrow!
