I was asked the question "I'd like an affordable PDF solution (not Adobe) that will let me save data to a PDF at work and home. It would also be great to be able to generate PDFs from Excel, Word, etc.". As to affordable the solution to this is free.

Knowing how much it costs to print a page using a colour laser is very difficult because working out the coverage for each toner is near impossible. Recently we downloaded a trial version of software and using that software we were able to determine a much more accurate cost per page. Based on this information we were able to advise one client how they could save $200 a month on one of their printing tasks. This article provides a link to the software and a summary of our findings.

I recently did a quick review of a virtual fax service. That is, for quite a reason fee, you can have a fax number and people can send you faxes but you don't need to have a fax machine. That saves the cost of the line rental, call costs, the fax machine and consumables. You can even send faxes direct from your computer applications. We share our thoughts.
