Remanufactured Ink Cartridges

Remanufactured ink cartridges give excellent print results at remarkable savings to your purse. They are of equal or better quality than their originals available at less that half their price. Remanufactured ink cartridges come to you at a fraction of what an original machine unit would cost. A full and complete inspection, ultrasonic cleaning and 100% print testing prior to installing ensure that you get crisp, clear and dark text and graphics on every print job. Remanufactured ink cartridge manufacturers use premium-grade inks and price the cartridge very low.

Remanufactured ink cartridges are generally backed by an exclusive 100% guarantee to ensure your complete satisfaction. Some sellers give remanufactured ink cartridges with a warranty that even covers your machine. In some cases, these remanufactured ink cartridges actually contain more ink than the originals.

Remanufactured ink cartridges are professionally remanufactured inkjet cartridges that have been used once and have been recharged. Each cartridge and its print-head nozzles are thoroughly cleaned and filled with the same type of premium ink, checked for the correct internal pressure after inspection for any possible cover leakage and finally ran through a print test. Such a cartridge that passes these rigid quality check standards can only be termed “remanufactured.” It is generally seen that most remanufactured cartridges are 100% guaranteed.

Remanufactured ink cartridges are a practical alternative to branded ink cartridge. Since these remanufactured ink cartridges undergo stringent testing, they are an excellent alternative to meet your printing requirements. Many online sites such as atlanticinkjet.com offer quality remanufactured ink cartridges online.

Computer Memory - What is RAM?

Imagine a human brain without a memory component. You have all this data stored inside your head but you don’t even know how to remember it or if it’s even there. How frustrating would that be?

Computer memory or Random Access Memory (RAM) provides the facility for a PC to temporarily store programs, files and various content that is located on the hard disk. It is responsible for the data that are displayed on your screens. Everything inside your hard disk can be considered data. From programs (spreadsheet applications, word processors, messengers etc. etc.) to personal files, cookies or virus databases. This being said, the bigger the memory size capability of your PC the more programs/files you will be able to use all at the same time.

What does it look like? Memory is a circuit board loaded with RAM chips. It is around one inch wide and four inches long.

How does it work? When you click on a program, the processor calls the data from the hard disk and temporarily stores it in your RAM. You open another program and the processor puts it on top of the previous program. In short, it piles the opened programs and gets them ready for access at the command of the user. However, the number of programs that you put on top of another is dependent on the capacity of your RAM.

Consider a puzzle. You line up all the pieces of the puzzle face up all over a table and start building the puzzle section by section. You are dependent on the size of the table. If it were a 5000 piece puzzle, you’d need a very big table indeed. In the same way, the RAM allows you to open different applications or programs and gives you the benefit of being able to work on different projects at the same time provided it can accommodate the number of applications that you use, so size does matter in terms of RAM capabilities. Bigger capacity means more memory space for more applications. It’s like a human head being equipped with an elephant’s brain. Once you have reached full capacity, then this is the time that PCs begin to crash, it is like putting puzzle pieces on top of one another thereby covering your view of the one underneath. It slows you down, confuses you and generally just wastes time. So remember: the bigger the RAM that you have the more applications you will be able to work on.

Types of RAM: There are a lot of types of RAM on the market; the following list provides types that are most commonly used and most likely that you will encounter.

DRAM : Dynamic Random Access Memory

DRAM is unarguably the most common type of RAM. So as not to lose what content is inside it, it is refreshed every so often.

SRAM : Static Random Access Memory

Much faster and more efficient than DRAM but also very costly to produce.

VRAM: Video Random Access Memory

Used for video cards and on-board video memory for motherboards. Mainly provides memory for monitors.

Finally, something that you should keep in mind, RAM loses all information when it is turned off. It does not have the capacity to store the information that it gathers when it is turned on. Therefore, it is best to save often.

T1 Router Recommendations

Here’s the scenario….all too frequently seen by the way…with a practical honest answer.

You have (1) T1 line for which you will need a T1 router in order to plug it into your ethernet router/vpn/firewall that will then pass into your LAN. You want the router to be able to handle a 2nd T1 line (or 2-T1s bonded) for future growth (if needed). You also want the router to be easy to “adminstrate”.

Now here’s the questions you may have…..

1. What are some basic T1 routers that will fit the bill?

2. Are these T1 routers traditionally provided and maintained by the local loop provider or the business owner?

3. Are there advantages/disadvantages to managing this router yourself vs letting the carrier do it? Typically, how much maintenance/administration do you need to perform on it?

And here’s the answer you really need……

Unless you’re doing something really really complex or unique, your best bet is to allow the internet provider to supply the router … that’s called “managed” service. Then you have no acquisition cost, you won’t pay extra for a dual T1 router on which you might never deploy the 2nd circuit, don’t have to go through the lease or buy decision, have no maintenance costs or worries, you have no risk of obsolescence, and don’t have to program the thing (or pay someone else to do it). AT&T circuits have the managed router option for only an additional $15/month or so for a single T1. Other providers include the router for free.

A primary advantage of managed service is during trouble situations. If you own the router, and your service is disrupted, you’re really naked if the carrier claims the problem is with your equipment. You’ll have no way to dispute that until you do whatever swapout or repair visit is necessary to determine that your equipment is fine….you’ll have to eat that bill….and your service would still be down. With managed service, whatever is wrong is the carrier’s fault, and they can’t point fingers.

If you’re “out of your element” with this type of thing, then managing and optioning your own router would really be outside your comfort zone, and you might find yourself spending too much time on that, instead of simply using the circuit. Certainly, if you start on a managed basis, you can always change to a purchased router if you end up wanting to do things that the carrier would not support using their router (BGP would be an example).

T1 routers are not a $50 purchase at Wal-Mart. Paying a nominal monthly fee avoids the initial purchase price, avoids the learning curve of configuration and upkeep, avoids the issue of T&M fees and availability of an IT guy, avoids that sinking feeling when the router goes bad three days after the warranty expires, and avoids the risk of obsolesence (if you purchase a T1 router, and then need to upgrade to 3M, you’ll be back at your dealer for a new purchase).

Different strokes for different folks. Everyone weighs what’s important for them.
