Yep.  I went over to the Computer Emporium and ordered it today.  The
shocking thing about it is it was so SMALL.  I did notice that the imaging
time seemed quite slow-- I assumed that this was because it was trying to
resolve TrueType on a Mac LC (no coprocessor)-- anyone know if I am correct
and a coprocessor will speed it up significantly.  I also noticed that the
ink did not seem as black as laser toner or DeskJet ink -- but for $372 I
can live with that!!!
