Before you toss words out, think about how they sound. When you speak, listen to the words and know that once spoken, they are going to touch another. Take time to listen with more than your ears.

When Sue gave the words to me to illustrate I was fascinated at how she hit on such a great topic that we often overlook with children.I did not have any children at the time, but I started watching parents with theirs.It's so easy to get wrapped up in the "I'm too busy" world.As a parent of a small child now I know that there are times I get busy and don't take time to listen to the wonder in my child's little world.This book reminds me to stop my phone calls and busy day and enjoy the fascination of youth.I recommend it to anyone who has children, has grandchildren or works with children. ...

Product Description

This IDC study examines five vendors in the U.S. hardcopy market that have consistently targeted growth in share of color hardcopy pages for the past few years: Canon, HP, Konica Minolta, the Ricoh family, and Xerox. These vendors have been challenged by Dell, Sharp, and Lexmark in the enterprise environment. This study reviews the trends of the top 5 vendors in the production environments of production color 45ppm+ MFPs, high-end color systems (HECS), and highlight color, and it provides a current profile providing the foundation for future growth. "Production color vendors will be continually challenged to create the next fresh case for a color production job to migrate from offset to digital." - Sue Lyon, research director, IDC Hardcopy Peripherals and Document Solutions
