Canon MX850 review

Canon have created a rather nice unit here. A networked multifunction printer. It prints documents fast. It scans well but the real deal breaker in our opinion is the duplex print, copy and scan function. This means that it will scan and copy double sided originals, as well as print double-sided. Now I don’t know about you but this function is perfect for an office in desperate need of controlling the volumes of paper that pile up.

This unit was included in my office to help digitise file keeping. So all those paper bills, contracts and other records can now be easily scanned and filed in an electronic filing system. Still need to do some work on what the best electronic document management software is for a small business, but for the moment the included software from Canon will do the job.

And for no other reason it stopped recording some of my favourite shows or taped them an hour earlier thus missing most of the program.

It’s a little hard to determine whether this was an IceTV or Beyonwiz problem, but I now seem to have solved the problem. Continue reading ‘Beyonwiz or IceTV and daylight saving issues’

Google Chrome - beta

image

Google has released a new browser called Chrome. I have test run it for the last day and it’s a reasonably impressive offering. It seems designed to be a forerunner for the development of complex web applications - it has a seamless interface with Google Gears.

It lacks the add-ons and extensions of Firefox 3 and it is unclear at the moment what the plans for such things are. It has been developed using similar software to Apple’s Safari but is only available for windows at this stage.

Just so there’s no confusion

Download Day 2008

The Firefox 3 download record attempt will officially begin on June 18 in Australia at 3.00am (EST). This URL http://tinyurl.com/4e7fv5 provides the timezone details for people. The 24 hour period is counted from US Pacific time on 17 June, which for most of us on this side of the world will mean downloading won’t start until the following day.

Happy downloading.
