The Ricoh Aficio CL7100D ain't small, and it weighs about as much as you do, but it pumps out 5-star-quality text at 35 pages per minute, and does well with graphics, too. The price (including cost per page) is very reasonable, and the printer is compatible with HP's Web JetAdmin software. Find out more in our online review.

But it's a 19- inch LCD, so it's like getting an extra two inches of screen real estate for free! And you're not losing out on image quality either--SENergy 914 boasts top-notch picture. Read all about it in our online review. (4 stars) http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1242-4-4-252229-118775-1 ============================================================ Product Bulletin: Newly announced tech offerings Here are just a few of the items you'll find in our current Product Bulletin. E-mail Enhancements See our online Product Bulletin for complete info on handy e-mail tools. SafetyBar 4.0 is Cloudmark's latest version of its SpamNet software, with some added features. SafetyBar incorporates the same community participation as SpamNet to protect against fraudulent e-mails and phishing scams, as well as the regular spam SpamNet has always protected against. Affini.net limits incoming e-mail to messages sent from known senders or senders with a good reputation in the Affini community. In addition, Affini is planning to expand into an affinity network of approved members. ZAPaSPAM acts in much the same way, with an option to send a challenge to e-mail senders to verify their identity. You can also block everyone but your whitelist names, or require a contact specific authorization code. If you want to let more e-mail through but still block spam, Mail Box Dispatcher 2.11 lets you read the subject and beginning lines of a message before deciding whether to download or delete it from the server. The program also examines your delete habits to customize message labeling. Lastly, Scientific Letter 1.50 lets users include complex scientific equations in e-mail messages. Compose equations using the built-in LaTeX editor and, once sent, they can be opened in a LaTeX-aware app. For info on other new products, see today's complete Product Bulletin. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1242-4-4-252229-118778-1 SafetyBar 4.0 http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1242-4-4-252229-118781-1 Affini.net http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1242-4-4-252229-118784-1 ZAPaSPAM http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1242-4-4-252229-118787-1 Mail Box Dispatcher 2.11 http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1242-4-4-252229-118790-1 Scientific Letter 1.50 http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1242-4-4-252229-118793-1 ============================================================ The PCMag.com Bookstore PC Magazine's Windows XP Solutions Ever wish they'd consulted you before they designed Windows XP?
