My sales month ended today, thus allowing time for our beloved bean counters the chance to close the month on the calendar end of month. don't mind and I'm kind of use to it. I figure that closing the month early gives me two end of the month chances to close some orders. Of course one is our actual close and the other is calendar end of month. December this year is a little frightening since Christmas falls on a Tuesday. Which means most will not be working on the 24th. Thus December only gives me 19 selling days compared to the average month that has 22 selling days. It's GO time!

-P (HPQ: news, chart, profile) controls about 1.5 percent of the copier market right now, mostly from sales of all-in-one devices that serve as printers and scanners, as well as copiers. But by also selling higher-end copiers that range in price from $18,000 to more than $37,000, Joshi says the company plans to control at least 10 percent of the copier market by the end of 2006.

The new copiers, which will range from $18,000 to more than $37,000, are aimed at stealing high-end corporate customers from Xerox (nyse: XRX - news - people ), Canon (nyse: CAJ - news - people ) and Ricoh.

Re: AP400 vs. AP2610
Mu understanding is that the IS100e will work with any printer that has a parallel printing capability. The claim to fame of the IS100e is that it connects to the parallel port of the CL 3000 and CL 5000, well it should work with the 3800, 3850, 7000 and all of the others.
