laundry

Has anyone ever noticed how fetch/ sendmail is just like doing the washing? Incoming mail is just like all the washing appearing from different parts of the house into the ISP laundry basket. Wrongly addressed ones take a bit longer to reach it, such as the crumpled sock behind Rebecca's bed, often being bounced back to the sender before being properly addressed ("Tidy your room...."). Then the washing machine retreives the mail from the basket. At this point a virus may slip past its door, with the result that the washing turns greyish pink. The washing machine then sends the mail off to be prepared for delivery then the smart host sorts it all out and carries it to the final destination in the local household. Sometimes I have to look at the aliases file as I examine a grey sock of unknown owner. Dunno what the drying part is.

> Dunno what the drying part is. I think that's when you leave it in your inbox for ages while you do something else, then you have the ironing- which is constructing your reply in a neat, precise, concise manner. (then comes the sendmail bit) You may have guessed from my posts- I'm not very good at ironing! ;-) Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Do you mean even though the printer is capable of double sided printing the linux software isn't? So in other words, there is no point in buying a double-side printer anyway? They use the HP970CXi printer here at work, they are excellent, cost closer to £200 though. I can get hold of quite a cheap HP840C printer....any idea about this one anyone? Jen

printer recommendations

Hi, Can anyone recommend a printer that does double-sided printing in colour or b/w, has linux support, and costs less than a hundred quid? It will be £70 to have my epson stylus 400 repaired and I've been advised i may as well get a new one (although as a recyclist I'm having guilt pangs). Thanks, Jenny.

Great for digital photos- not sure about the double-sided thing though, I have to put the paper in the other way round manually. Costs about £70, but you might get stung on the ink prices.

Off-Topic, yet funny..

Visit http://www.pornolize.com and then try an URL like www.microsoft.com or www.slashdot.org. Be warned - the language will offend those that don't like that sort of thing (oo-er vicar!). Having just tried it on my own site (oo-er vicar!), I thought it actually improved the content Regards, Martyn

SE30

Has anyone ever heard of an SE30? It's a tiny old all-in-one mac, with monochrome display and a 40M hard drive. My bro' is interested in installing linux on it. Then using to send/ receive mail. Possible? (Using an external modem, I suppose) Jen.
