Printer Hunting

I’m taking a break from a busy day and remembered a friend asked for help in hunting online for a good epson receipt printer for their company store. My friend’s company store is choosing among the thermal receipt printer or impact receipt printer. I’ve seen the ones she needs at POSMicro.

A good thermal receipt printer provides a quiet, speedy performance at the point of sale. I have seen this being used by many malls and local stores in here and it is of used to print copies of your credit cards transactions. While most of the stores’ receipt here are often printed with impact dot matrix which I appreciate because the print does not fade as easily as the ones printed on thermal paper by those thermal receipt printers. But there are some that does not fade easily so they may have been printed on good thermal paper or by a goor thermal receipt printer.

It is hard sometimes coz for meticulous consumers, one need to to have those receipts photocopied if you want a copy for record or your own file purpose. Anyway, I think my friend’s company need the thermal type.

Sony Vaio

Lucky Mariel,  a housemate of PBB for she got a Sony Vaio laptop! That had been the laptop I wanted but was not within our budget at that time almost a year ago when I got a new one, an Acer. If you are looking for mobile and wireless connectivity, laptop is more popular compared to desktop. Also there are available buying guide which will help buyers choose between brands of HP, Dell, Acer, Lenovo, Apple, Toshiba, Asus, and other leading computer manufacturers which have outstanding laptop product lines to fit a variety of consumer needs. The Sony Vaio still has a spot in my heart. Wish, wish, wish!

Home Security

We were are the mall appliance center this evening to buy hubby’s advance birthday gift. While the item was being prepared, the sales guy set off the alarm as he took it off the displayed item we bought as the lil boy was touching something below the display area. Our lil boy thought he set off the alarm. The sales guy showed us the wiring that can set off the alarm. We thought it is good for use at home to secure it as it sets off when someone will try to break into our place. I said we can put it in the door and windows and am sure the burglar will be scared away. There are actually home security systems, wireless security systems and security cameras that we can have that will guarantee to secure your homes from thieves, burglars, intruders and other unwanted guests. We especially need to secure our homes especially it is the holiday season and there are certain people who usually strike during these times maybe because out of the difficulties that life brings during these hard times and they want to find ways to have money even if it is done in a bad way. So secure your homes so yo won’t be sorry.

Online Window Shopping

I am starting to do some online window shopping which simply means browsing through online stores where I am constantly in the look out for sale and discounts. Christmas is near and you can now start you Christmas holiday shopping and for some who find it more convenient to shop online, you can always check to find the a best buy on sale items, as well as clearance blowouts, hot electronics, cool computers, or the latest music, movies and books. You can find more of such in online stores at buy.com for example. I have visited their site more frequently a few weeks ago looking for cellphones on sale. But hubby has gotten us both each a Nokia cellphone when we went to Nokia a day after our anniversary. Yet there is still something I wanna get for myself and I’ll continue to do my online window shopping till I find a sale on it.

USB Drive

It was a coincidence that I was browsing through some nice and cool looking USB drives sold in wholesale with guaranteed low price at Flash Wholesaler and I liked their USB flash pen drives and custom USB flash drives which are great for corporate gifts, giveaways, prizes, recognition items, and promotional tools. I think I used to have one from a computer company but I dunno where it is now. They also have those with custom shapes available and the one I saw was shaped like a tennis ball! Cool!
