Big, Beautiful Things

My job will end in a few months, and there are a lot of things I'll miss about it, such as the awesome-quality printers at the office. I used the giant plotter to print 6-foot world maps for Contagion and Conquest; I used the Lexmark for my variant Starfarers of Cataan tiles. While I'll never replace the plotter, I wanted a high-quality printer to take the Lexmark's role.

So yesterday, feeling glum, I decided to blow a big wad of money (a reliable way to lift my spirits). I went to Circuit City and got one of those giant Hewlett-Packard printer/scanner/fax machine deals. The print quality isn't quite as good as the Lexmark, but it's damn close. (And I wasn't going to spend $2,000, which is what my boss paid for the office printer.) I printed some Pendarther maps this morning, and they are drop-dead gorgeous. Suddenly I'm a happy man.

Now, though, I've got a lot of computer accessories lying around, along with my two extra laptops. Anyone interested in an old scanner, an HP inkjet, or a Toshiba laptop? Just asking.

We have scanners, but a printer, particularly one compatible with a Toshiba laptop, would be really useful.

What are you looking for in the way of compensation?

No compensation is needed. At most, maybe you can pay me $20 for the extra ink cartridge I have lying around...

That would be just fine by me.

*hugs you*
