Concerning  Randy Frank's query on ribbons for the Imagewriter.  I was
able to obtain ribbons from my local CTA store here in Las Cruces, NM.
However  beware, there are at  least  two  ribbons  available  at  the
current  time.   I almost bought the Apple version at approx. $10.90 a
ribbon.  There is also a C. Itoh version available (remember that  the
Imagewriter  is  a modified C. Itoh) at about $8.90.  Don't hold me to
the prices, but they are in the  ballpark.  Granted, both  prices  are
rip-offs,  and  we  certainly need some third parties dealing in these
consumables, however they appear to be the only ones available at this
time.  The only number on the ribbon  I  bought  is  2248  (on  a  tag
affixed   to   the   plastic  bag).   Locally,  Team  Electronics  and
Computerland are also dealing in Macs so they may stock ribbons.  Team
does have the Mac T-shirt.
