Jeesus Peter are you really as closed minded as you seem ?

Besides being plain wrong about lack of "Technical justification"
somtimes you dont have a choice (for whatever reason) of interfaces.

My Postscript printer is serial, my color ink jet is parallel.

Now, yes, that seems backwards to me too, but when they gave me this
beast I didn't say: "fuck you, i aint taking no serial postscript
printer, go get me a parallel one".

Nor when i was able to buy a color inkjet for $199 did I say:
"whoah! that puppy is PARALLEL fer gods sake, there is no
technical justification for that, I'll go out and spend
a couple of thou on a technically justified printer"

I mean really.

P.S. Don't bother sending another one of your insipid flames, the
last three had no effect.
