With the old ink, you could spill [insert beverage name here] on the page and lose everything. With the new ink, you can spill [beverage again] on the page and it's still readable. Not worth including in a report to your boss, mind you, but good enough to retype if you forgot to save to a disk file. (That always makes me wonder: when you spill [beverage] on a laser printout, it still ruins the paper, right? I mean, you have to print another copy, because you're not going to insert a wrinkled, stained page into your report, right? Just wondering...) I repeat, the ink really is that good. But then, look who I work for. Regards Ray Depew HP Colorado IC Division rrd@hpfitst1.hp.com
