Mumbo Jumbo

I want to buy a color inkjet printer, I’ve had a quick look around my Local IT mall, and the range is bewildering and confusing. My main concern is what type of Ink cartridge system to get. All the manufactures seem to offer about the same thing From what I can see some machines come with 3, 4 cartridges Etc , and some seem to have a separate sort of tank filling system where it look as if you just pour some ink into a small plastic tank when the ink gets low..?

As ive learned from friends with color inkjet printers, its seem’s the problems does not really occur with the printers too much, but it’s with the cost of buying new cartridges or having the existing ones filled, or trying to fill them your self , and also a problem with some thing called Cartridge chips ..?

Ive asked my friends about the chips and they really don’t seem to know just what the ‘chip ‘does ..?

I just want the printer for home use, letters and the occasional photograph nothing too fancy or high speed so can any forum member offer me some advice as to ……..

The options for an easy life when it comes to...Cartridges, Tanks, Chip’s, Etc and any other personal comments about your experiences with inkjet printers.

Thanks .................. Mumbo

HI Totster,

Ive not as yet tried it, one of my past problems ( being a Computer Newbie ) was with un installing a programme and finding some parts of the programme were still left on my computer, causing some problems, So I am now careful in just what I download , I want to learn just a bit more about Firefox , and just in case and about ... ( the un install Conscquensies !! ) of removing it from my new computer should I need to ...

I am soon going to a Thai Hospital to have an Endoscope examnation ( camera down your throat )

I will ask the Doctor if he's ever done an Endoscopic exam on some one who's been chewing the Red stuff, and just what he saw down in the esophagus ( after chewing the red Stuff for years you would think your esophaugs and stomach would show up a un- normal Red color .. ? )

MUMBO .....

I’ve just been to visit some of the wife’s relatives, one of them was an old grandma aged 104, the group were mainly women, and most of them were what I can only describe as ‘’chewing ‘’ some sort of red concoction which has stained their teeth dark red . I asked the Old grandma what I had to do if I wanted to live to 104 years old; she said eat fish, and chew (what ever the Thai Name was) as she has been chewing it from a young girl.

I could not find out just what this Red concoction was..? I watched grandma as she pounded a small cup filled with what looked like tobacco, and a white powder (which I learnt was I think from some sort of shell) and it was all folded in a green plant leaf and put into the mouth.

Where the Red stain comes from I don’t know..? . The other thing I learnt was what ever it is they are chewing it gives them some sort of …BUZZ!!

Does any one know just what all this is about any why do they chew it on a constant basis…?. I did not see any of the men with red teeth …?

It its a GOOD BUZZ may be I will try it !!!!...........

Thanks ................ MUMBO

ive just moved into a new house out in the sticks , once or twice ive noticed the room lights flickering but not going off, So i put a volt meter on the supply and found the voltage is going up and down a few volts. asking around the village it seem's every house is getting the same thing and some say its caused by the power demand of a near by factory. now I am about ready to connect my computer to the power mains of the house, I am wondering if this voltage fluctations will effect my computer in any way..? and would fitting a UPS , be of any advantage, if its YES , could some one outline which type of UPS to install as Ive not got a clue ..?

Hi Wallalai, the part .... It promises to be vastly different from any other version of Windows — much more Mac-like and Linux-like. So get ready to learn everything you already know all over again.

was taken from the newspaper article, and I agree with your comment also.

thanks ............ Mumbo

Ive just seen this in a US news paper...

As for Vista being one version, you're only off by five. That's right, there will be six versions — the consumer editions are Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate; the business editions are Windows Vista Business and Windows Vista Enterprise.

It promises to be vastly different from any other version of Windows — much more Mac-like and Linux-like. So get ready to learn everything you already know all over again.
