He doesn't even need that white blazer to be cool, not really. That's just back up cool.

No, wait! Don't take the toner out! It won't work then!
Thank god, he put it back in again. He's no fool.

Damn, but he's cool. I have absolutely do nothing.

On the one hand he's dressed really well... and in general the video is really well produced, given the extremely low content quality. But.. Why is he dressed like that? Those aren't exactly office supply company work clothes, or "tech TV presenter" work clothes. What is the job that goes with those clothes? I can't figure it out.. it would make sense if he were promoting a plastic surgery business, or selling the secret to some earn-zillions-from-home-with-no-work real estate investment system.

If he could start again, I think he'd probably think about what he was going to say, before he did it - rather than in the middle of the video. I mean this woman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj_vI_vJFk8 says she's going to talk about what degrees you need to work as a designer and detail them, but then just tells you her entire life story and all the awards she got while at college.

The laser creates a static charge in the paper so that the toner sticks to it in the right places and then it is baked on (not by laser).<br><br>Amazingly rubbish, good post!

I seriously hope he does more for all of the other countries, otherwise if I want to send a fax to France, how will I know what to do?!
