Yes - a Samsung C430W.
I'm down to under 20% Yellow toner already, mostly on two years worth of Christmas cards ... but the sample toner they ship with isn't full size.

How is the color quality on these laser printers? I have a lot of confidence in Samsung products' quality.

I print Christmas cards with it, so it's pretty good. Use good paper (goes without saying) and throw all inkjet paper in the bin - it's got a coating on it to prevent the ink "bleeding" which gums up the fuser roller of lasers.
It never loses lines (unlike inkjet), the print speed is in a different league, and raindrops don't "smudge" it. In my experience, it doesn't fade as badly as inkjet either.

Thanks! I remember the very first color laser printer that came out, but we are talking decades ago. It was made by Tektronics and cost around $100,000. No need to say it never caught on.

Yep, as mine is exactly the same it works equally well after long periods of not using it.
Mind you that I ran into a slight problem recently. I accidentally bought me some 300 g laser printing paper and the printer could not handle it: too thick for the paper feed mechanism. Nothing was damaged but the printer stopped with an error indication.

I've got an HP 2600n. Really old but solid printing. I didn't print anything on it for more than six months and then had to print a recipe (with colour pictures) for her indoors. It woke up from a deep sleep, hummed for a few moments then spat out perfect prints with no problems, then went back to sleep a few minutes later.
I love colour laser printers. All my old ink-jets (except a 15 year-old wide-carriage CANON that I never use but might one day) have gone to the tip. For the price of one print head/ink combo thingy for the ink-jet I can get a replacement cartridge for the 2600n on Fleabay. No brainer!

Hmmmm,
The semordnilap of Sander Rossel is 'Less or red NAS'.

I'm thinking hard, but my mind went blank after lunch and now I'm just waiting for the day to be over...
So I give up, what's a semordnilap and "Less or red NAS" is code language for what?

You're looking at it all the wrong way... literally!
|
|

Doh, how could I miss the Lessor Rednas 
I even read the words backwards, but didn't recognize them
As I said, I've mentally checked out after lunch

Well, the universe has to balance out from you having such a great day yesterday!

I am terrible at jokes. It's nothing bad. I just noticed I could make sense of your name read backwards.

I know what a palindrome is, but I've never heard of the semordnilap 
I somehow missed the Lessor Rednas, even though I actually did read it backwards

Ah, Martin Gardner. We need more of his kind.

A great man. So far above the rest of us it is often hard to get what he is getting at, but I like a lot of his stuff - for intellectual enjoyment. If I understand it, it gives me a great feeling of superiority!

I believe he mentions the semordnilap in the September 1964 issue. It's stored up in the attic with my collection of 30+ years of National Geographic.

the opposite of an operating system would be windows 10
an operating system implies you control and have the equipment do what you want it to do,
windows 10, when it's not wankin doing hidden stuff to itself "updating" itself loves to reset and hide (if not totally remove) settings, decide if something [that ran fine yesterday] will still work today, unilterally decide if you can find/see/read/write your files (again if indeed they still exist) ...
proof complete.

Yes, it's a shame those updates don't let our OSs have security flaws like *nix systems do.

It's called an operating system, ergo it operates.
If you had to do the operating, it would be called operated system
I think you need to adjust your expectations

Ill preface this with that the following is nothing new and language X was gonna be the Y, but here goes.
Java is supposed to be this language where you can deploy anywhere, except it's you still need to compile for a platform and ship the bytecode file. (please feel free to correct any ignorance)
So when a few articles came out on Webassembly last week with the mozilla documentation release of 1.0, and history repeating. "It will run anywhere" that some runtime has been written for it just as java runtime is required writing for the platform that you want to run it on.
I feel like I am missing something not knowing enough on how C and Assembler works that we can't just compile to those languages and ship?
Oh, no, if not already done, someone is going to make an OS in webassemply aren't they?

Correct. However you neeed the various compiling tools and, above all, you have to recompile for all the different platforms every time.
