[dba-Tech] Color Laser

...like I said, the media costs will make the purchase price look downright
cheap :(

...even at $3k a pop Rocky, give them the CD in PDF ...charge them an extra
$150+ for bound manuals.

...try Microsoft for instance ...thousands for SBS'03Pro and yet the only
manual is short and sweet ...it essentially tells you how to find what you
want on the CD and what's included in the package ...you can get bound
manuals for extra cost ...get rich quicker, start thinking like Gates! :))))
