Great Advances ...

Yay for Xerox! That sounds like a fantastic machine, and it's about time. I could give you many stories about being covered in toner while trying to replace cartridges! I am glad that they have moved forward to a simple easy process.

Beware ...

I totally agree with the fact that you are supposed to get more from VoIP and pay less. It seems to be that way, but I did try a few years ago to switch to VoIP and it was a disaster. When a call would come in it would disconnect the other line and it was just crazy.
I am sure that the VoIP system has made tremendous growth in the last few years, so hopefully these types of problems are fixed.
I know a company that has just switched to VoIP and they seem to be very happy with it. I will probably look into again when I see that they have made it for a while without those types of problems.
I agree with Jason though, the traditional telco charges are ridiculous. I asked once if there was a fee for sneezing while you were on the phone!! VoIP is definitely the new way to go, and the savings are huge!

Drums Challenge ...

I bought Drums Challenge these days and I really recommend the game. I mean, it's very simple but at the same time is different from others 'cause you play drums (and we must agree that there're a lot of games with guitar today and it bores me so much). You can play different music styles and also a free style and it's very cool. I think there are a lot of people doing good things today and Drums Challenge is one of those good things.

VoIP vs Telco (VoIP 1 telco 0) ...

VoIP is most certainly a cost reduction. It's the only service where you are going to pay less and get more. Think about that, where can you get more and pay less? VoIP has done just that. Small businesses are adopting VoIP so rapidly because they are tired of being nickled and dimed to death by the traditional telcos and see a tremendous value with VoIP. They can cut costs and gain functionality, who wouldn't want that? Businesses are tired of paying all the bogus charges the telco throws at them like the FCC Line charge that has nothing to do with the FCC, it's just a buzz word the telco uses to make it sound like a government charge. Or the Line maintenance charge, which one would think it is for the lines outside but it's not, it's for the lines inside your building. What is that all about and when was the last time the phone company came out to maintain your lines in your house. I am pretty sure they tell you that's not their obligation. If that's the case then why do I pay a monthly fee for that service?
