It's fun to play with. My name, in its English spelling, is surprisingly often used. Being a town too probably helps.
The word of the beast, traditional 666, is easy and for the new 616 is girl.
In other news; I love my laser printer, but it's probably not a good idea to have put it on the dining room table "just to see if it works".
Our old ink jet printer died and the new one, while it prints very nicely, drinks ink. So I decided to buy a laser printer. And I'm an engineer so I didn't like the flimsy home models. The HP 4000 series were good and solid.
Oh look, I seem to have bough a second-hand 4100. And a week later a duplex unit. It works well, it cost less than a low end home model would have done, it's on the network so I don't have to remember to go turn another computer on, I can't see that I'll ever need to buy another toner cartridge and it's blindingly fast.
But it's big, it's on the table that we plan to have Christmas dinner on and it won't fit in my study.
It's all best beloved's fault. If he hadn't installed ethernet in the dining room I couldn't have put it there.
