I sure as hell hope they've improved support for dot matrix printers, I was
QUITE upset at the (lack of) quality output on my spiffy new DeskJet, it looked
jut like the output from my imagewriter...pah.  So maybe now they are using 
*real* scalable fonts.  Let us know!

If you think that's fun...try having the spring on the shutter come completely off of the disk...resulting in the shutter coming off *in your drive* AAARGHG!
THAT was upsetting, not to mention the spring was in there rattling around...
my life flashed before my eyes...

By the way....  MEI Micro is selling disks for *69* cents each in lots of
25, and they are GOOD disks, I have had fewer failures with their disks than
with Fuji or Sony's....
