Sparkling New!

I'm in desperate need for barcode printers! My last printer died recently so I now have a huge pile of documents I need to print urgently. I'm not fussy as to what I buy as long as it prints black and white documents quickly and has the abilty to print in colour also. I need it to be able to connect to my best laptops if possible as they are where I conduct most of my business from. I don't want the printer to be too expensive as I will also need to purchase some computer accessories for my home office to be complete.

My home office is fairly new as I have only just begun working from home. I think I have pretty much all the equipment I need apart from the barcode printer and various computer accessories. I must admit I do enjoy buying new computer related items as it gives me a chance to check out the new technology available. There have been some great cheap computers around but mine are still running perfectly fine so I don't have an excuse to buy one yet. I might upgrade in a year when my current technology becomes obsolete.

I just remembered I am yet to set up a functioning internet and network system as there have been some connectivity issues. I'll need to find new cable modems for a start as I think this is where the problem lies. It was the cheapest model available in a brand name i've never heard of so I shouldn't have expected things to run smoothly. I've had to frantically create a computer backup on many occasions as things have been so unstable. I will definitely spend a little bit extra to buy some quality products!

I should buy a desktop computer to use as a backup and storage system for times like these as I only have my few laptops at the moment. These laptops only have a CD ROM drive so I will need to get a DVD burner as part of the desktop computer package also. While i'm there I might also pickup a new computer bag as my current one is falling apart with threads sprouting everywhere! Perhaps my short list of items to buy may not be quite so short now, and I think there is more to come...

Yes indeed I do need a new computer battery too! My current laptop battery only lasts about an hour of use before it completely runs out of power. I need a very powerful battery that lasts at least 4 hours straight of constant use though this may not be possible with my laptop models. The computer mouse could do with an upgrade too as i'm constantly cleaning it without success. It takes a lot of effort to click any of the buttons and the scroll wheel doesn't even scroll left and right, let alone the fact that it isn't even an optical mouse!

I've had my current computer desk since the late 80s so it doesn't really have the accommodation for todays PC and accessory requirements. There are quite a few computer desk styles on the market so I should be able to find one to suit my situation perfectly. I think a corner desk will be best option to save space and provide shelf and computer storage for all my printed documents and many accessories.

With all these features i'm hoping to find in the one desktop computer, I think my best option is to customise a computer package. I don't want to pay for features I will never use so customising my computer will probably save me money in the end. I might even be able to include a wireless computer networking system to improve my network connection. I should customise my computer case too while i'm there as a special treat. I'm thinking some sort of sparkley blue number!
