...start ticking off those tax deductions, there are a couple of things to consider: What kind of work do you intend to do? How much space can you spare? Aside from your souped-up PC, you'll need an array of space-hogging peripherals like a printer and a scanner.

...outraged Republicans and a defensive scanner community quickly pointed out, the Martins' story--now the subject of an FBI probe--has a few problems. Only a deliberately modified scanner is likely to have picked up the Gingrich call and held it long enough to produce such a lengthy recording.
