	We had a demo of the Thinkjet with the new hp portable computer.
The print was sharp and clear with hp paper. But it was SMALL. This is
not a major complaint, but one you should be aware of{then again the machine
is tiny too!}. If you want RS-232 interface, I suggest you buy Centronics
as you said, and then buy an Angel buffer or equivalent to do the Centronics
parallel to RS-232 serial conversion. You get the added benefit of a print 
buffer. If anybody out there knows of a VERY CHEAP buffer you can pass that
on, but I mention the Angel because I know it will work well.
						Good Luck,
