stand by the HP "printer" recommendations. HP the company (even before they
aquired Compaq) has numerous divisions that could probably stand alone as
seperate companies. Their Printing and imaging division is of the highest
quality. I used to recommend their (low to mid range) scanners until about
1999/2000 when I concluded that they were resting on their laurels and Epson and
some others had passed them by by in both pricing and
quality.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

divisions. I put no more stock in them than any other companies products.
Basically, these days, I look at PCs as being no better than their tech
support. Same junk assembled in a different location with different label
slapped on it </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=171250815-21082003><FONT face=Arial

a teensy response to those "some people". I own no shares in said company but
I LOVE HP. Everything I have ever bought from them worked flawlessly and for
at least a decade.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
