Every time I go to the kitchen, the photocopier beeps three times at me.
Yes, it's got a proximity sensor so it can come out of powersave that instant or two quicker when someone approaches it. The thing is, it's right by the kitchen door, and unless I deliberately walk over to the left rather than in the centre, it will see me.
Why do I get this impression it's going to be reincarnated as a puppy in its next life?
