One Thing You Can Count On With Electronics These Days

They always seem to get both better and cheaper. For example, Amazon cut the price of a basic Kindle by 70 bucks.

My first printer was a HP DeskJet. It printed only in black, printed at about two pages a minute, and cost $700 in 1988 dollars. That's about $1,250 or so in today's money and for that price, you can probably get a color laser printer that will print out a page a second and that will also scan, copy, fax, brew a mean cup of coffee and perform decent oral sex.

  1. Remember the first VCRs? Weighed half a ton, cost a month's pay, and let you replay "Happy Days" whenever the kids wanted to watch it?
    But a printer that performs decent oral sex? Hey, that would sell...
