[dba-Tech] Color Laser

I thought about delivering it on the CD but for $3k a pop I think they'll
expect a manual in a binder.  Gives the perception of added value anyway.

It is the cartridges that cost.  I can get an HP or Minolta color laser for
about $700.  But the carts are like $100 a piece.

So I'll have to compare to the cost of a copy store.
