Everyone except me, the homeless, people in third-world countries, and the technophobic community.  <\/p>\n<p>So I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a cell phone.  Make fun of me all you like, but how many of you have a laser printer at home?  <\/p>\n<p>I got one and you probably don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t.  How you like me now with my HP LaserJet 1012 Laser Printer?<\/p>\n<p>Sure I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t call anyone anywhere I want to, but I can print one page in 10 seconds and 15 pages per minute.  That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s faster than you can dial fifteen phone numbers, unless you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got those numbers on speed dial.<\/p>\n<p>You like that?<\/p>\n<p>Sure your cell phone is small enough to put in your pocket, but my laser printer is 14.6 by 9.1 by 8.2 inches, small enough that I can stick it in a duffel bag and take it with me.   <\/p>\n<p>Uh huh.  How\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that for portability?<\/p>\n<p>I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take pictures with my laser printer, but I can print pictures in black and white.  <\/p>\n<p>Jealous? <\/p>\n<p>I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t text message someone, but I can print a letter, stuff it in an envelope, stick a stamp on it, go to a mailbox, and mail it.  <\/p>\n<p>It ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that different.  <\/p>\n<p>Can your cell phone keep you warm at night?  My laser printer can.  After the pages come out of the printer, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re warm, like clothes out of the dryer.  Print a couple dozen sheets and you got yourself a blanket.<\/p>\n<p>Oooh, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hot!  Tssssss!<\/p>\n<p>With my laser printer, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to pay every month for some calling plan.  Sure I gotta to pay $69.99 to change my toner cartridge after every 2,000 pages, but I ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t printing no manifesto or Harry Potter book, so I ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t gonna change it that often.<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to be down, go get yourself a laser printer.  This HP LaserJet 1012 is off the hook for your basic printing needs.  You gotta buy your own USB cable, because the printer doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t come with one, but this printer is so good and cheap, it don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t matter.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  HP LaserJet 1012 Laser Printer<br \/>\n<b>Purchase Price:<\/b>  $149.99 (on sale)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  4 out of 5<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Inexpensive.
