I have a Canon printer and scanner. If one of the cartridges is out of ink, you can’t even use the bloody scanner! Yep, there’s a lot to be said for a machine (like a Lettera 22 for instance) that is designed to do one thing and does it well. 🙂
I have friends and family who laugh at my individualized approach to technology. I have a flip phone. I have a desk top computer. I have a digital camera. I do not bundle internet/television/phone carrier. My phone is a phone. My computer is a computer. My television is a television. My cellphone is a cellphone. My camera is a camera. My concern has always been by bundling these things heightens the risk that the failure of one hampers everything connected to it – like the single printer cartridge failure that makes a printer/fax/scanner inoperable.
Those same people laugh at my planner with the addresses of family members/friends written within, until they ask me for Aunt So-And-So’s address because the electronic means they had their addresses stored in have failed them.
Hooray for the trusty typewriter!
I’m the same way: if I want to pay really close attention to a text, I print it.
