Hello Jim,

Dang vista seems to have some bugs that need to be worked out, especially
if you watch the apple commercial on the teevee.

Hello Mopar,

Well, I bought a new printer today. The last time I bought ink for my
Leximark, it cost over $60.00. The only place around Rochester that I've
found that handles it is Sam's club in Greece, NY. Since my membership is a
month past due, I would have to pay over $100.00 to get ink!

So, I went to Rat Shack (right across the street from the Garden Factory
where I was buying a tree). They had a nice printer/scanner combo for sale
at only $89.00. He got a boxed printer and I asked what brand. Leximark.
I told him no way, since ink was so hard to get - plus expensive. He said
that I could get ink. I asked him if they sold ink. They do. Leximark
ink? Nope. Case closed, I don't want it.

The did have a nice HP printer (with scanner). I ended up buying that for
only $79.95. It was on sale as it is an older printer - but I can get ink
for it at a number of places. Which means it will likely be cheaper to buy
ink LOL.

Fortunately, the software is compatible with Win 2000 on up to, and
including, Vista. I just got it installed about 20 minutes ago and all is
well. New printer and ink for less than I would have paid for the ink alone
for the Leximark. The Leximark did a nice job, but getting ink was a pain.
And it wasn't cheap buying directly from Leximark either ...
