Canadian Store where up and down Yesterday. They seem to be stable now.

Agreed, it looks awesome. I bet it's dead quiet too.

I'd like to get one for my parents. The only thing stopping me is my
parents printer is a Parallel port printer. I don't want to by them a
new printer. This one works perfectly for them.
Its a last generation dot-matrix printer. They don't use the printer
often enough for an ink jet. That's the problem I had. I had two of
them dry up on me and never work again, because I didn't use them often
enough. The dot-matrix doesn't have that problem.
