Advice for Uncle Brian. (Snipped this from somewhere, sometime ... no idea where.)

"When it comes to printers, your best bet is to find a monk, hire him, and get him to transcribe what's on your screen.

You don't need anything besides bread, wine, and the occasional quill replacement.

Rarely does paper get jammed in a monk unless you’re the one jamming it in him.

You rarely hear cracking or thrumming sounds come from a monk because they take a vow of silence.

The occasional fart from the monk is reasonable compared to a laser printer with a broken ozone filter.

And if the monk has any problems or dies, you can always hire a new one. Heck, you can even recycle the robes."
