Good. Should mean you are out of the woods. Thats the trouble with wifi devices. Sure they sound awesome, but whenever network problems arise you run into issues. Never heard of having to landline them to setup, but I'm not surprised. PC probably had to manually retrieve the printer's IP before it could map its location.

I'm still so Ethernet oriented that wireless printers that need wires to get going seem a little strange.

I printed from 3 different applications before I shut it down yesterday...today I was able to get the Airprint functions working. Not sure how much we'll use it, but I like it.

Man, tough call on the 1st pick, ours vs actual.

Both are still needs, but I'd still lean towards Peters only based on production to date. Dupree could very well change my mind this year.

I think they finally learned that taking CBs in the 4th and 5th rd and thinking they could be coached up to starting caliber players was not the most sound approach in this new pass happy era.

I'd go Dupree. Clearly Peters delivered more earlier, but I think w/o Dupree they'd really have no future edge guy at all...I could see them trying to hang on to JJ if Dupree was not in the fold.

I just think that finding quality CB's at any point in the draft is much more of a gamble than an edge guy. Having an immediate impact guy at CB that could hold down the position for a decade is much harder to come by.

But we are really nitpicking here... Both are freakishly talented when healthy. If Dupree can keep himself on the field for a full 16-game season then I expect big things to happen.

I'm thinking high quality edge guys are getting harder and harder to find...guys like Von Miller and Justin Huston are really becoming once every 5 yrs type players. Everyone here in ATL is raving about the season Vic Beasley had...outstanding no doubt, but he's got to back that up before I'm ready to say he's arrived.

Obviously Dupree is not that, but like you I think he's coming into his own. It wouldn't shock me to see him with dbl digit sacks this season...assuming he stays on the field.

We are nitpicking, and I even admit if rookie to date production was the sole criteria, Peters would be my pick as well.

I really hope the Steelers draft one of those Washington Husky DB's.
