Taking the questions in order:

>Didn't sound like a commercial to me. I've never heard of the thing. Is it
>a Tandy engine, or a Canon clone, like the Quadram.

Darned if I know, I've never seen another printer quite like it.  It is very
small and fairly quiet.  It may just have been custom manufactured for us,
I'll try to find out.

>Care to comment on the ink colour quality ? Is red RED like the Tektronix,
>orange like the HP and the Canon, or a tad on the cyan side like the Xerox ?

The red is a tad orangish but the saturation on all the colors is what 
attracted me to it.  That and the simplicity of interface (and the cost of 
printing on it :-).

>How about blue ? Is it greenish, purpleish, or BLUE ?

I'll check.  My printer is at home right now.

>Can you still buy these things in Radio Shacks ?

Absolutely not.  If you could I would never have mentioned them.  Some people
have this thing about Tandy equipment and anything that even sounded like it
could have been a plug would have generated enough flames to melt my socks.
For that reason I don't discuss anything that Tandy does (I'm sure that is why
the Microsoft people on the net are so quiet also, it does no good to argue
with people who have already made up their minds).
