I have been using a NEC Pinwriter P5XL since the day it was released,
and used a plain P5 before that.  I am 100% satisfied with them,
especially with the new 360 x 360 dpi Windows and Lotus drivers that
are available for no charge.

I used a Toshiba 1351 before the P5, and was OK about it, but not as
happy as I am with the NECs.  On the other hand, I hear the newer
Toshibas are much better than the 1351.
