    printer:

    I want a laser printer for home/soon-to-be-business use. I will just need b&w, no color.

    I looked all over at brother models, but I'm reading all bad reviews on their $100 models, that it breaks within a year, the drum in it wears out and needs to be replaced, the paper curls, and is more expensive then the printer itself.

    So find me good reviews on the product before you go say "buy this!"

    dvd:

    what is the difference between dvd-r and dvd+r? i know that some dvd players only take one or another, but whats the major differences, if not size?

    (yes, i know i can look on google or wikipedia, but im busy atm, after i write this..)

    Whats your max to minimum price range? I know you said 100 before but maybe you want to go to 120, or lower to 80, or something completely different.

    Do you want an all in one? so you can print, copy and scan?

    $0.01 to ~150

    B&W printing only, no all in one.

    Xelink, that is not true. I have a Panasonic DVD player and it will not play either DVD+R or DVD-R.

    Yes people will now say well i have a Panasonic, but it varies on models, thank you very much.
