Oh, pluueeeezze.  I find it hard to pity anyone with an AMD K6-3 400Mhz
system when I sit at home on a P5/90 while holding my breath on the eBay
motherboard I bid on which will allow me to upgrade to a Celeron 300Mhz!

And, I'm going to throw my Canon 5000 in the trash.  I've already had to
buy two new ink cartridge holders (@ $49.95) and the photo quality has
gone downhill since I bought it.  I've read that the Epson photo
printers (780?) is one of the best on the market so far.

BTW, I use my TI Microlaser to print black & white text, not my ink
jet.  I just hope I don't run out of toner any time soon!  I don't think
we have any more here at work. :-)
