This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 10 Years Ago 2nd Week of December 2005
Before posting this, I was on LinkedIn for a few moments to check my account. I noticed that I've been a LinkedIn user for 10 years come December 27th of this month! Time really does fly by. LinkedIn was launched in 2003, thus I guess I'm one of the early adopters. Will be interesting to see what LinkedIn looks like twenty years from now. Here's a cool web page about the growth of LinkedIn. Sharp's AR-M355N & AR-M455N Imagers 12/14/05 7:49 PM offer copy, print,...

This Week in the Copier Industry 10 Years Ago (First Week of October 2007)
Interesting thread from ten years ago is the thread about Padded Lease Rates! Ethical or Unethical. Personally. I've never been a fan of this, and I also think it's theft by deception. Call it what you want, I also believe there should be some type of regulation especially when a "price" is published and or agreed to and then the lease rate is padded and the price is not what was stated. Enjoy these threads!! Topic Weekend Notes from the Copier Industry for 9/30/07 10/1/077:46 PM next 12...

Re: The End Of The Day With Ray! Talking SolarWinds Breach and IT Security with Milton Bartley
Great interview! Maybe the best of the year in terms of risk mitigation. Scan to email is the most requested feature on on office copiers. Very few, have 2FA enabled. I spent time last Sept figuring out how to enable 2FA on Toshiba copiers. I have been lax on new installs enabling 2FA. Starting 2021, all copiers I come across, I will enable 2FA. 2FA (aka multi factor authentication) is not so much a copier feature that needs to be turned on, it is an email feature that needs to be turned on...
