I have to roommates and they each have a deskjet and a bubblejet. Let me tell you, the bubblejet is good for its weight, and portability. Maybe the graphics is better too, 'cos it doesn't pour out the ink as the DJ does. However, it is slower than a snail, even my dot-matrix is faster than that. The most important of all, BJ is not supported by a lot of things. Pagemaker is one, the Avery Label Pro is the other that I found. -- 8) _ _ | user's name: Edward Wong |_ |\ \ / /\ |_) |\ | ARPA: edwong@bucsf.bu.edu |_ |/ \^/ /==\ | \ |/ | UUCP: bucsf.bu.edu!edwong
