So, the price is pretty good... street price >(non-educational) should be around $450, I think. Definitely no where >as high as $599 though... Retail price for the Stylewriter is $599. The student rate at our University, (Which is higher than most) is a little over $400. Extra info: The retail price for the Imagewriter II is $595... only a $4 difference from the StyleWriter! Kinda makes you wonder... If they can make an ink-jet printer with a higher resolution than a laser printer, then why can't they make a simple dot matrix for a decent price? In Apples spec card for the StyleWriter, it says it won't work with the Apple II... The ImageWriter is the intended printer for the Apple II. That sort of sounds like they don't intend to make a driver for the GS. To someone getting a new computer, it would be a big push for them in the direction of the Mac.... COINCIDENCE??? I really hope that the rumor about Apple making a driver for the GS is true. >-- >David Huang | "Calzoni Pizza: >Internet: daveh@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu | Delivery in six >UUCP: ..!ut-emx!ccwf.cc.utexas.edu!daveh | hours, or else your >America Online: DrWho29 | pizza is cold." ---------------------------------------- BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm <------------send files here pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com
