Selling SoHo Printers: “It’s Airprint, Stupid”
Finding a current table of color laser Airprint capable multi-function printers (MFP) with prices and features is impossible.

This Week, Last Week, Next Week…

What’s done is Undone, part 1

Well that’s done, what’s next?
The Comic side of http://www.daveshouseofwaywardmen.com/acomics.php is pretty much done. I just need a few graphics and that’s that. As I start to think about what I want and find out what Antny wants on the Movie side, I’ll build this part with a bit more planning than the comics side. The comics side rocks and all…
