RAM...I has it.

Bwahaha... I finally managed to add 1 GB of RAM to my computer's existing 256 MB. Things are not so molasses-laden now. Thanks to grian_ruadh for a bit of reassurance, as the card was NOT that easy to fit in the slot, and I was nervous about how hard I could push on the thing. All seems good now! Plus there's two more slots available for future augmentation...

Inkjet thoughts?

So another tech purchase needed in my future is a decent inkjet printer. I hate shopping for and comparing this sort of thing, so I'm open to anyone's recommendations/ opinions.

My parameters:
Brands: I have a very strong aversion to Epson and Lexmark--in my experience and observation, their products are crap. I have had good experiences with HP, and at least in the past their print heads are part of the cartridge and so get replaced regularly, which seems a real bonus as clogged print heads have been the demise of every inkjet I have owned. I assume that is still true. I don't know if any other brands are like that. I love Brother's laser printers but have no info on their inkjets. Have no info on Canon. (ETA: quoth wikipedia: Canon's print heads are designed to last the life of the printer, but can be replaced if damaged, unlike Epson. Wikipedia's "inkjet printer" entry has a fair bit on this subject--more than the manufacturers!)

I just want an inkjet, not an all-in-one (already have a nice scanner).

I will use it almost entirely for image printing--photos and artwork--and not particularly high volume of that. Will almost never use it for text; that's what the laser's for, so image quality is more important than speed.

Wireless capability is optional. Must work with Mac, of course.

Any thoughts?
