Oh Brother!

Advantages: Does everything except make me a cup of tea
Disadvantages: None I can think of yet!

...order to use their fax machine but now we can do it ourselves. Another function on the faxing is that the machine can fax from file so it does not actually need a hard copy in order to get a good faax. I have not done this but my hubby did and he said that it was quite easy and the recipient got a good copy. So it does everything it says on the box. But what about ink and the cost of replenishing the ink supply? I thought that because this is a Brother 4 in 1 machine that it would be really expensive but I have been proved wrong. The printer comes with 4 separate catridges - black, blue, red and yellow. The cost over here to replace them is 10 Euros each which works out at around £7 a cartridge. So thats 40 Euros or £27/28 to replace all 4 in one go. And thats for generic Brother cartridges - there are compatible ones out there...

Review of Brother MFC-215C

Brother MFC 9060

Advantages: Cheap toner, excellent quality
Disadvantages: does not like cheap copy paper to print on!

...Having recently started my own business, i was on the look out for a good value fax machine. Having had a Brother fax machine at my previous job i was impressed by its reliablilty and the cost of consumables. Whilst looking at rival fax machines, i could not find one that matched the excellent specification or price. The printer can be used as a multifunction device, however i only utilise it as a fax machine. However i have the back up that if one of my printers breaks down i can use the machine as a back up it could also be used as an emergency scanner or photocopier, although you can only feed sheets through it, so its use is limited on these points. The only slight niggle i have with the machine is that it does not seem to like my cheap copy paper that i use, and it sometimes requires that i only have one sheet in the feeder...

Review of Brother MFC 9060

Brother MFC-235c all in one inc fax capability.

Advantages: Very economical on ink.
Disadvantages: None that I know of

...or second use! Compatible cartridges are prohibitively expensive, as they need to have a chip and a printhead in every cartridge!! This is where the Canon MFC-235c really shines, it has 4 cartridges that fit conveniently at the front of the printer, these are little more than ink "tanks" Good quality compatibles can be purchased for as little as £6.95 total for all the four tanks including postage on Ebay. I also appreciate the fact that this printer cleans itself, as you always know that your printer will always be clean and ready to print that unexpected Fax or copying job, if that means that it uses more ink, I`m sure you can afford it, it`s cheap enough! Also the printer uses an ink dot "counter" for each cartridge, which is reset when a new cartridge is installed, this can also be reset with the software. I also found that all other...

Review of Brother 235C

BEAST of a printer, scanner, fax & copier (phew!)

Advantages: A printer, scanner, copier and fax machine (phew!)
Disadvantages: It's heavy in size and in cost.

...What we have here is the Brother MFC-7420 Multifunction digital laser device. Try saying it in one breath. Go on, I challenge you to say it in one breath. Did you manage it? If you did then you probably deserve a medal, but then so would 'Brother' for managing to cram so many features and uses into one device. That is a challenge in itself, and I'd imagine it was far from easy to accomplish and keep the design as attractive as it is. I know what you're thinking though. You've seen plenty of other printers out there that also do copying, scanning and faxing. They may even have been a fair bit cheaper. This is true, but what this item has in its favour is the speed of the printing, the attractive design, the brand name 'BROTHER' attached to it and the hardcore feel of the product. It really does feel like something that would...

Review of Step Brothers

Big Brother

Advantages: Nightly Entertainment, Can Be Good At Times
Disadvantages: Ran Out of Ideas, Repetitive

...Everyone has an opinion on Big Brother, regardless of whether you watch it or not. For some, it's entertaining. For others, it's pointless TV, watched by idiots, which is taking up time and money which could be used on other shows. ~~~ What's it About ? ~~~ Basically, a group of everyday people are put into a house which is completely covered by televsion cameras and microphones. The show then runs for a number of weeks (10+). The contestants participate in daily tasks which they must complete in order to gain a reward. They also get a main task which covers a few days, which depending on their performance, either earns them a food budget to buy what they like from the shopping list or earns them rice and other basic food. The contestants also nominate each other to decide who faces eviction. The public then vote for who...

Review of Channel 4 - Big Brother

Very Reliable Brother

Advantages: Cordless phone, quick document scanning
Disadvantages: small recording time of answering machine

...The Brother FAX-1560 is an inkjet fax machine with an integrated telephone as well as an answering machine. The use of inkjet technology means that your received fax documents will be of high quality, but will not be waterproof like all inkjet technology using devices. Other technologies are also put into practice on this fax machine, one technological advantage is the transmission of super fine details and the auto-correctness of errors that occur during transmission. Another advantage is the Fax machines ability to reduce long documents to A4 size. The on-board modem delivers a 14,400 bps(bits per second) transfer speed, which converts to 14 kbps (kilo-bits per second). Which does not seem a lot, but is sufficient enough to transfer the required data. This is because all fax machines as well as this one convert documents into...

Review of Brother FAX-1560

Step Brothers

Advantages: Over fairly quickly
Disadvantages: Just not very good...

...***Film Only Review*** Last night I sat down to watch Step Brothers after being told by a friend, who has a similar sense of humour to me, that it was pretty funny and worth a watch. Story ------- Brennan (Will Ferrell) and Dale (John C Reilly) are two 40 year old who still live at home with their parents. Dale's dad and Dale have been living together Dales' whole life, Dale doesn't work and loves the lifestyle of being able to do what he wants when he wants, especially jamming on his drum kit. Brennan is a slightly more sensitive character having been raised by his mother his whole life and likes still being looked after even though he is middle aged. When Dale and Brennan's parents hook up and get married, both of the boys (I say boys, meaning men!) have to learn to share and get along as step brothers. Initially...

Review of Step Brothers

Brothers and Sisters

Advantages: Great drama show, secrets, lies
Disadvantages: None

...Families, drama, secrets and lies, what more could you want from a television show.!! Brothers and sisters is one of my favourite drama series out at the moment. It is shown in England on Channel 4 and more recently on E4. It first came out in September 2006 and as of September 2008 they are now in their third series. The DVD of the first series came out in February of this year. It is an American drama series featuring the Walker family of California. They are a fairly well to do family who live in Pasadena, California, just near Los Angeles. We are introduced to the family at a birthday party. The patriarch and much loved figure of William Walker dies in spectacular fashion and things are never quite the same again. What looked liked a charmed life from the outside soon begins to crack and the secrets come pouring out. Nora Walkers...
