Price is better than from HP at SDSU here ($865 ?), but beware the
better quality PaintJet XL has come down in  price on the street to
just above $900, depends what you need, XL also has AppleTalk and
seperate ink bottles for 4 colors.
Price is GOOD , again, is it avail. anywhere else?

	Hi David....   wondering where did you get that information???
	I just checked with our Computer Products Rep who explained
	to me that there are TWO versions of the Paintjet XL... one
	for PC's, clones, Amiga's, etc...  and another version designed
	for use with Mac... and the LIST price for that unit is over $3000,
	so I can't imagine a street price of around $900....  If there
	is, I'd buy it myself! :-)   Perhaps you are thinking of the
	Mac Writer version of the HP DeskJet... that's the 300 dpi B&W
	printer....
