Weird. I sold a client a colour inkjet A3 printer/scanner (the MFC-6890CDW) and they love it. And it works really really well. Wasn't terribly expensive for an A3 unit, with an RRP of $579 (I did it cheaper then that though). But yeh, the use it all the time and are very happy with it. Still,

Hi Daniel, Are you having iPhone emails disappearing since upgrading to ios 4? I am. Very frustrating and very nearly some missed business I have a theory that they are all stuck in a pipe somewhere in Scandinavia (or maybe Missouri?) and at some point soon, the pipe is going to burst and

I got a Canon MX340 about 3 months ago from the new Apple Centre in Perth. Cost around $220 and I have had no problems at all with printing, copying and scanning ! I had 2 HP's prior to that and scanning with the Mac was a pain in the butt !!! On 20/10/2010, at 10:32 AM, Steven Knowles wrote:
