    Forget prez - vote Hillary for Optus

    Hillary Clinton's nine lives are not yet depleted and, despite allegations that her stubborn refusal to concede defeat earlier has fragmented her party, she fought her battle to the very end. By placing bets several ways, that battle may just turn into gold for her down the track. Has Optus taken a leaf out of Hillary's book?

    Digital TV for the blind (the ones leading the blind)

    Might I suggest that the government, which so far has handled the issue with kid gloves, take a chance for once and reach over and just pull the digital TV plug?

  • Dell 2135cn Colour Laser MFP

    The 2135cn from Dell is a colour laser MFP with network support. While the 2135cn is a mixed bag in terms of quality and performance, it comes at a reasonable price.

The AU$330 price tag is higher than average for a monochrome printer. Still, if print speed and print quality are deciding factors for you, consider the Samsung ML-2851ND.
