		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using a Brother HL-2040 laser printer for the last couple of years. It&#8217;s a small, cheap (available these days for under $100 after not too much shopping around) and fast (up to 20ppm) printer that produces good quality. Frankly, I&#8217;ve been very happy with it. The toner cartridges for this printer cost around [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know that not everybody believes in so-called Internet Security Suites. These collections of security products are designed to keep your net-connected PC free of nasties such as virii, spam, spyware, adware and the like. It is sometimes suggested that these products are, in fact, unnecessary bloatware, and that the operating system (particularly if it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On a number of occasions recently, it would have been really handy to have a colour laser printer at the House of Nerds, in order to produce business-quality colour printouts. I thought seriously about buying one of the nifty little Samsung CLP-300N devices ($A599 RRP, available for less than half that price at IT Estate). [...]]]></description>

Good points: * free * captures round-cornered windows accurately * captures transparency * reasonable flexibility in save formats. Not-so-good points (forgivable for a free utility): * no option to capture an entire screen (just windows on screen that don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Checkpoint has released an update to my Internet security suite-of-choice: ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite (ZAISS). So I downloaded it, of course. I&#8217;m a latecomer to &#8216;download managers&#8217;, but I&#8217;m also a convert. A download manager uses technical jiggery-pokery to make downloads go faster and happen more reliably. The jiggery-pokery has two main parts: the download [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By all accounts, Microsoft&#8217;s new Office 2007 suite is something pretty special. Apparently the new user interface paradigm (hey, I am a marketing guy!) exposes more functionality than ever before. I reckon this would be a good thing for the modern e-family. All four of us make pretty extensive use of Office applications in many [...]]]></description>
