      Copier at home

      Had various copiers at home for years. My last was a Sharp 7370 that I donated to the local Food Bank a few months ago. I stopped in to see how it was working and was told the new sponsor had given them all new equipment. Well, not new, but their leftovers after upgrading their offices.

      Just haven't had the need for one anymore. With the new scanners and printers, just doesn;t make sense to maintain one anymore. Way too much maintenance for as little as it would get used.

      And I like that last choice on the survey: who cares -

        Thought some people would like it rather than just a simple yes or no poll.

            Needs change

            There was a time when having a copier at home was very useful. I was active on a number of boards and my wife was active in girl scouts. People would sometimes come by just to make copies, then stay to visit for a while.

            Kind of the same reaction I got when I had a pinball machine -

            But needs change and so do the nature of electronic equipment. Still have a working Olympia treated paper fax machine. What with scanners now, I can scan a copy and fax it from my computer, so it is just collecting dust. Still works though.

              After voting "No" some time ago, I now have a used copier at home and I'm in the way of possibly buying a new one. The wife needs it and - let's face it - I sometimes need to print something to go read on the little boy's room (grew tired of sitting there for half-an-hour with a burning laptop on my legs ).

                dude, half an hour? You might need to get yourself checked...

                    Only now I noticed this reply

                    Yeah, half an hour. Actually I take care of the business at hand in less than five minutes. The reason I take so long is because is the only place where I can rest for a while away from the wife and kid.

                      There is also the added benefit to making sure things that need to be done get done....

                        Nah, I usually know when I've been there long enough. It's just when I stop feeling my legs!

                          I have quite a diverse selection in my home. My favorite baby is the Canon IR600, I have a Gestetner copyprinter 5450, an hp and lexmark laser, and a brother fax. Where my cars used to sit in the garage there's about 100 laser printers on pallets. Anyone need a printer?

                            I have brought several "orphans" home. Replaced my ink jet printers with them, gave one to my daughter to use at her university (seems she is popular at times), one to my sister, and one to my dad. High quality printing/copies/fax for low per copy and maintence costs, plus I do labor for free.

                            BTW: I also have a number of old computers and monitors still kicking around.

                              A copier is the last thing I wanna look at when I get home.

                              Any copying/faxing I do, I do in the office.

                              My only printer is a LJIIc thats still kicking butt.

                                I have a Canon c3200 in my home office. Comes in handy because my wife is taking photography/graphic design classes.
