Another technology leap

It's another technology leap at my HO (home office). Yay! *throws confetti*

Last night, the man whom I inherited my genes from (a.k.a. Boss) unloaded a bulky beige plastic device from the car's hood. Turns out to be... [insert any suspense sound effect here].... a laser printer! I'm [insert your favourite word to decribe excitement]!

It's the HP LaserJet 1200 model and was previously used in Boss' office. It came without anything it would have come with if purchased new: manual, cables, driver CD, even the box. Don't ask me why. So at this moment I'm scouring the web for more info. Hmmm... I hope this beige plastic is worth all the trouble. I can see myself going around shopping malls like a mad man trying to find the cables.

Anyway, my buddy Wil from The Black Journal commented that I should include photos in my post. So here goes:


Found this image through Google... thanks to whom it belongs.

Just one problem (one I'm happy to have). I already have a printer, a flatbed scanner, a fixed-line phone, speakers and the monitor, not forgetting the rat (oh, a mouse actually) on my PC desk (and as I type, I heard the big headphone and gamepad shouting to remind me to include them in this list as well). So where am I going to put the BIG beige plastic?

I'll figure that out soon...
