Most printers today cost far less than $200, but that's a price point I like to watch since it's where most of the cool new technology gets introduced. Generally, $200 printers can generate borderless 4x6s and 5x7s, and have color LCD screens and card readers so you can turn a shot into a print without turning on your computer. HP just delivered a new player at the $200 mark, and as expected at this price, it delivers a lot of performance. It's also a huge step forward...
...fast, smudge-free images that, generally speaking, pass the picture-quality test. What more could you ask for? How about built in red-eye removal? Print from a memory card and any shot with red-eye will be fixed on the fly. It really works. HP also boasts some other internal technologies. One is SmartFocus, which sharpens up duller images; another is Adaptive Lighting. A hallmark of HP's imaging products, this mainly lightens faces that have been darkened by light flooding in from behind. Some people call that a "fill flash...

Only trouble is, it only does Motion JPEG and MPEG-1 files, not the more common MPEG-2, QuickTime MOV and Windows Media Video formats. The only thing that hung me up about the printer was that it never seemed to know, automatically, where its paper was coming from. If you print directly without a PC, you have to choose the paper tray you want, even if you're clearly printing 4x6 photographs...
...should say, many of us BLOHARDS, myself included, have a soft spot for Zimmer. Just last year, when I and a tablemate were dissecting Francona during the spring luncheon, I wondered aloud how many World Series Zim might?ve led the Sox to in a wild-card era. ?Yeah,? said the other fellow. ?Zim wasn?t so bad.? The Sox were going good at that time in the spring of ?04, and in such periods, when the boys are winning at a spirited clip, the BLOHARDS are sweet and charitable folk...
...with only five points up for grabs, WTT rules would have allowed the Lobsters to force overtime if they won the mixed doubles tie. It was a win that seemed within their grasp given Blake’s form—but though Blake was on the card to play alongside Schlukebir, he was subbed out in favor of Johan Landsberg...
