          ^^ here's hoping you never get a 'blue screen of death' when needing the gates potty.

          (to be fair, i have been impressed with the gates foundation's efforts on health care, tech in school, libraries, etc...)

            Little Printer

            While there are strong moves away from using up paper these days, I feel there is still a need for those little notes that we like to pin up and have 'in our face!' as reminders. Smart phones are good but 'out of sight, out of mind!'

            http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0161/0470/products/shop_01_large.jpg?2410

            I think the Little Printer by Berg will prove popular as it allows for just the right size prints for the wallet or pinning up. It looks that the Little Printer is in the pipeline and only taking pre-orders at £199! A bit pricey on first slight.

            There is also an other option, one that looks equally well designed. Its the mPrinter , a KickStarter project. The prices are also a lot less 👍

            One of the mPrinter prototypes

              Yes, I agree. Bill G and the Missus do great work AND get personally involved rather than just throwing cash around. Apple and Google could take note rather than continuing to try and put their hands around the World!

                      I can't not see tiny faces in every power socket you lot got. I remember the first time I saw them, I visited Boston and NY, the day I woke up after my first night there I lied there staring at these two little faces opposite the room. 😲 😲 😄

                        an appropriate expression in that one discovering things are not so status quo 💚

                        and then you could have a field day on the name of that medicine, hee hee

                        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                          And around this part of the country they are installed upside down, I think just to annoy me.

                            Actually there may be madness in their method. sic
                            I read somewhere that they invert them so that it does not look like a face so that toddlers won't fool with them.

                                No, that just makes them want to stand on their heads and look at the face while trying to insert a knife into the socket. And well, that is just not safe.

                                      I think it's actually done so it's harder for the plug to fall out if it's a little loose.

                                        What key combination do you use to invert them?

                                            I think the Sketchboard might appeal to some here that enjoy sketching on tracing paper with a fat clutch pencil ..... I for one enjoy the feel!

                                            Anton Reinig from Berlin has designed the Sketchboard to keep the process nice and tidy. I also thought that he has not overpriced the device at $30 and his target figure is very realistic so it will more than likely be a runner.
