When i buy a new color cartridge, I only get on average of only 10 color prints per cartridge. Will other brands of printers cost me less in ink, and give me more copies per cartridge? What about refilling them myself? Is this easy to do? Any suggestions and comments are greatly appericated. Thanks

I have a 250Gb unpartitioned harddrive that I wish to reformat and partition for a dual boot scenario.

I wish to have Windows XP Pro on one partition, Ubuntu on a second, and all my data on a third.

I currently have around 100Gb of documents and 50Gb of Program Files (although this will be reduced as I am not going to reinstall everything).

What size partitions should I create? I was thinking 60Gb for Windows, 150Gb for Data, and 40Gb for Ubuntu. Or can you recommend a better spread?

I want to preserve my laptop battery while I normally have it plugged to the AC. Instead of taking out the battery from my laptop, is there anything in the device manager to disable so my battery isn't charging while plugged to the AC? It seems Microsoft should invent something to give you the option to charge or not while using the AC.
