funny combination

[jay]

Yesterday my last birthday present -- an Apple Airport wireless base -- arrived. This unit has firmware and ports for both a networked USB printer and audio output for playing music wirelessly on our stereo from any computer in the house. Great... except those are incompatible uses, IMO. I haven't seen anyone with a printer mounted in their stereo rack, or an expensive sound system inside their computer systems closet...

Now, I have a 750 word abstract to write in two hours, kids to feed, 2 meetings at work this afternoon and have to get the house cleaned before patgreene gets home tonight.

They would seem a bit incompatible in theory, yeah. In practice ... well, there's a coffee table that's currently acting as our "stereo rack" in the sense that it's where the stereo is currently sitting, and the printer is also sitting on it. And some friends of mine with notably less clutter (but a similarly small apartment) also have their printer on a desk that's only about six feet from the stereo rack, and I'd think the cables would certainly stretch that far.

Good luck with your abstract-writing and kid-feeding and meetings and house-cleaning!

Hmm... bigger house here, so the printer's in a different room.

The abstract is done, and Pat's home...
