One thing I had been waiting for for a while that I finally got is a 25' long printer cable. So now I'm trying out my old giant QMS Magicolor 2 color laser printer my brother gave me a while back that has just been sitting here. It has some streaks and splotches but for a free color laser printer, I think it will be alright. Now I can print fundraising materials for my team :) This thing really is a giant though, the lights in my room dim every time it prints. :ahh:
