Wow, is it impressive!" My response: WHIMPER "I am one of those people who saw the plain Deskjet and wondered why anyone would bother buying such a slow, overpriced printer." Probably cause I needed 300 DPI and was able to get my DeskJet for $600.00 at a local PC wholesale club. "[The DeskJet is a] Useless heap of junk, in my opinion." Diane! Shame on you. My DeskJet thought that you were its friend! " P.S. I hope I haven't offended you plain Deskjet owners too much. If you like your printer that's just fine with me. To each his own. I'm just saying *I* didn't think much of the Deskjet." Gee, is Diana happy with the DeskJet Plus and her ST? Naw, I didn't think so either. GRIN. Congrats, Diana. I can't wait to see the Plus in action. Maybe next year I'll sell my DeskJet Plain for a Plus. Who says we need $1500 and up for sophisticated 300 DPI printing. The DeskJet opened the door. Sounds like the Plus is going to really smoke. Grin, Diana. Maybe you can write up a review and send it on the net? Larry Rymal
