This is a local situation.  I can get a repairman in a few hours (in a
suburb of Chicago) and parts have not been a problem.

Again - no problem here although the economics of services contracts leaves
me inclined to take my chances.  I suspect the problem is travel time from
the service center to your site.

Actually, we have had no problems with the 890 anyway.  Our service calls
have mostly been for ROM upgrades to 860's to fix the HP emulation with
downloaded fonts (which was done free under warantee).
