On this episode of Dotto Tech, Steve demos the HP C6280. This little multi- functional printer has a dual layer paper tray, so you can have both photo paper and regular paper loaded at the same time. Now you won’t print your documents on your pricey glossy photo paper by mistake. 

Not sure if your computer is safe and secure? Steve shows us the ins and outs of Symantec’s latest version of Norton Internet Security. Prevent identity theft and stop those viruses before it starts. NIS is the security system that let’s you keep your computer clean, without you having to do all the dirty work. 

Original Airdate: November 3, 2007

This week Steve looks at the HP Pavilion HDX – a high end notebook that doubles as your home computer and entertainment centre. Steve also shows you Symantec’s new Norton 360, an integrated solution to keep your computer happy and healthy. Plus we look at Clarion's DXZ475MP stereo, which allows you to play your iPod tunes through your car speakers.

Steve takes you on a tour of a laptop that’s rather out of the ordinary this week, Lenovo’s X41 Tablet PC. Tablets allow you to take notes out in the field quickly with a pen-based interface, before the software converts handwriting to text. And the coolest part? A hard drive designed to protect itself in the event of an accident.

Steve’s got the goods from HP for snapping, perfecting and sharing your digital prints even if you’re on the road. With the Photosmart R967 camera you can not only make the regular adjustments to a photo that we’ve begun to take for granted in the digital world. Steve also looks at HP’s A716 Photo Printer Camnex Auto-Transfer cable.

Waste Reduction Week

From October 18-24, it is Waste Reduction Week in Canada, so we thought it was perfect timing to give you a little information about how you can keep old computers and technological consumables, like ink cartridges, out of landfills. HP has launched a program called HP's Planet Partners, which is dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint, and is the only manufacturer in Canada that enables customers to return HP inkjet print cartridges free of charge for recycling! They also recycle hardware, even non-HP hardware, for simply the cost of shipping. When you are finished with old hardware, another excellent way to dispose of it is to reuse it, there is a program called Computers for Schools that will take your old hardware and turn it into a learning tool!
