If you are tired of Dell laptops bursting into flames, then let's change the topic to something similar in nature. Here's some refreshing news about Canon recalling over 1.8 million of its personal copiers sold between 1987 and 1997 as they are a fire hazard due to faulty wiring. Models affected include PC7, PC8, and PC11 home copiers, along with the larger NP1010, NP1020, and NP6010 models.
According to Engadget
Apparently there have only been several reported instances of copiers overheating, but disturbingly, all but one of them occurred overseas several years ago, and it was only the latest fire in Canon's home country of Japan that prompted the recall. So, until Canon comes up with a game plan for repairing the remaining machines, owners of these fire hazards are probably best off copying their documents, middle fingers, and rear ends down at the local Kinko's.
