Instant Delivery

In the Kind-of-Backwards-Progress-but-Still-Interesting Dept.: HP Instant Delivery. This application allows you to set up custom “deliveries” of standard or customized web pages, news sites, etc., so that you can automatically download the page each morning and have it sent to your printer, waiting for you when you get in. Sure, it wastes paper, but it’s a pretty neat idea nonetheless. Of course, the use that perked my ears was the ability to create a custom comic page (though the choices are limited). -ram
