Recently, I've been looking through some old PC mags for evaluations of
various 24-pin printers. One of the best (based on relatively low cost and
features) appears to be the LQ850. 
 
I'm wondering if any of you has this model or has seen in it operation. If so,
is it as good as it would appear in print? Also, what's the lowest price in
the various mail-order markets? The lowest I've seen (granted, from 1988
magazine ads) is around $499.00.
 
Any comments (good, bad, or indifferent) re performance etc. would be
welcomed. Thanks in advance!
