Can I assume from the name that it's a really high-resolution dot-matrix?? I was all convinced that I wanted to buy a DeskWriter, but now I'm not so sure... Anybody else see it? Any ideas? Are you wondering why this message is rambling? (Simple: the mailer on media-lab is stupid. If you include more text than you compose, it rejects the message. So in an attempt (?) to cut down on use of the bandwidth, they actually increase it when you need to include large files. :-( Any fixes, anyone? (I'll be talking to someone here about it soon, but if there's a command I'm missing, yell)) --Mike Standard disclaimers...
