But for being a work computer where I use it to make order tickets and
invoices etc, it does fine and that's basically all I need. well,
besides to look in here occasionally.

If I set up for high speed and a more modern machine I'd probably
watch youtube vids all day and not get much of anything accomplished.


Besides, here at home, I spend too much time on the crazy thing
anyhow.


Well, I hope you're using a dot matrix printer at work to print those
tickets and invoices. Nothing less would be acceptable! * *:)


Yes I do. Last year my Daisey wheel gave up the ghost!


Actually, i just did purchase a new HP officejet J4540 to replace my
dead or dying HP 932C. *The scanner works pretty well too. and even
though I don't use it, I like having the FAX feature, too!


But these new cartridges are small! I imagine they'll spend the ink
really easy.


There are some really inexpensive laser printers around - $100 or so -
that are far more economical than inkjet printers on a cost per copy basis.


I had thought of that Harry, and it would be great to go that route,
but I needed something quickly and didn't have time to shop around.

I'm looking for one, but not really in a rush now that I'm set up
again, but If the daughter's quits on her at college, I'll give her
this one and look seriously at the lasers.

good call, though.
