Well, Epson has taken your plea to heart. The current InfoWorld
(November 14/ 83, Vol 5, issue 46, second or third "glossy" ish)
has an Epson ad announcing the RX-80, a budget-priced Epson with
graphics and 128 size/shading/etc combinations. "For a limited time"
you can buy it for only $299 (two hundred ninety-nine bucks.)
"But just because we made if affordable doesn't mean we've left
off the goodies. You get ... bidirectional printing, logic seeking,
and a speed of 100 characters per second... programmable forms control,
graphics, and a special Quiet Mode to keep the noise down."
I don't know if the price will go up or down after the limited time, though.
