[ale] Reliable seller of refurbished MacBooks?

[Mike Martin]

Two points --
1) If the Mac is updated to the latest OS and Drivers, unless the printer
is an oddball (EG: Not HP, Brother, Canon, lexmark, Epson) -- or older than
4-5 years old, almost 98% of the time, they "just work".. Apple does
include the latest drivers from the manufacturers (whom they work closely
with) to make sure this is the case.  Not sure how the connection is (USB,
Wifi?) but proper configuration on both ends usually does the trick.  The
fact that it "worked" with an older mac, and not with the newer MacBook Air
sounds more like a config issue to me than anything else.

2) It may be cheaper to buy a new printer than a new Mac.

"refurbished" macs from the On-Line Apple.com store run at about 15-30% off
of LIST PRICE. Microcenter usually has a "flush 'em out" sale every so
often where you can beat that, but you'll be one or two revs back from the
latest hardware.

contact me out of band if you wish .. mcm/30114/@/gmail/./com (remove
