Hi,
	I am a new owner for an IBM compatible (386).  I am looking for
	recommendation for printer and mouse.

	1.  Printer.  I am torn between getting a 24pin, or an inkjet.
	The inkjets (Canon Bubblejet, HP Deskjet) are nice, but they
	cost double than 24 pins. Also, I heard rumours about ink
	smearing on inkjet's output. Is that true?

	If I do get a 24 pin, I would appreciate some opinion, recommenda-
	tion on Epson, Citizen, Panasonic, NEC.  I have seen some
	quasi-Postscript software that claims to be able to emulate
	Postscript on 24-pins.  Anyone has experience with these?  I think
	one of iT is called GoScript.

	2.  Mouse.  I am not sure I should get the Microsoft mouse, or the
	Logitec mouse.  I am looking for specific pros and cons.  I like
	the higher 400 dpi resolution of the Microsoft, but I preferred the
	matt texture plastic of Logitec.  I am planning on running
	Window/386, if it matters.  

	Does anyone know if I get the Microsoft's Window/286+mouse bundle,
	how much do I have to pay to upgrade to Window 386?

	Thanks for all your help.  I would appreciate e-mailing.     

	casey
