Awesome!

Brother MFC Series MFC-9325CW MFC / All-In-One Up to 19 ppm Color Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi Digital Color LED Printer
Brother MFC Series MFC-9325CW MFC / All-In-One Up to 19 ppm Color Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi Digital Color LED Printer

Pros: Scanner: I'm scanning all our old photos into the computer and the quality of the scans is excellent. Copier: We needed to copy the immunization records for daycare, and they came out looking like the original. Fax: We used the fax yesterday for the first time to send something out and it worked like a champ. Printer: The print quality is great. I'm really impressed with how well some photos came out. We mostly print coloring pages for the children, so we're not using this to it's full capacity. However, I love the fact that the toner will not dry out in a week and cost me another $80 to replace all the cartridges. Wireless: this is far and away the best feature. I can control the machine from my iPad with the free app. It scans directly to the iPad, or prints directly from it. If my children want a new coloring page, I can bring one up on the web and print it right out. Love the wireless!

Cons: I would love a duplexing option and would gladly pay to have it.

Overall Review: Overall, this is the best printer I've owned. The software is user friendly and intuitive on Mac OSX 10.7. I can just load and click for scans. Printing is just like any other device. I bought this because I was going through ink cartridges all the time, mostly from non-use and drying up. I looked at what we spent over the past three years, and switching to a laser printer just makes economic sense. This Multi-Function device is great for personal or business use. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to get away from ink printers, especially if you're fed up with the replacement ink costs.

iPig

Speakal IPIG-P-01 2.1 Stereo iPod Docking Station with 5 Speakers (Pink)

Pros: The iPig is surprisingly nice. It can fill a room with sound, and it doesn't have any distortion at higher volumes. It can accept input from external sources as well as from a dock on top. The included cords are nice and long, so if you're using an external sound source, like a computer, you don't have to have the two devices right next to each other.

Cons: The light in the mouth and the off switch. In order to turn the unit off, you have to use the switch on the back. If you use the button on the remote, it only puts the pig to sleep and the light in the mouth flashes.

Overall Review: If you like novel speakers with a good clean and clear sound, you won't be disappointed with the iPig. We stream music to our children's room at night and they love the iPig. My 3 year old likes playing with the volume, controlled by the ears, while my 2 year old like to put his finger in the pigs mouth. If you have younger children, they will enjoy the pig for it's looks while you can enjoy the sound. I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the issue with the light in the pig's mouth and the fact the only way to turn it off is the switch on the back of the device. However, you can use it as a night light because it's bright enough in a dark room.
