I however was a chump and spent $900 + $309 (fonts) for the DW (Desk Writer). I love it a lot, but found out a couple days ago that a friend would have been happy to get me one for $720 (special discount; not available thru stores!) *gnash gnarl* Also there may be student discounts, since a poster from Notre Dame said he paid $729 for his. For future reference: does the DJ (DeskJet/+) with MacPrint driver handle all the NT-style fonts you get with the DW? How does it handle DTP fonts in general? Anybody else want to report on their Grappler or macPrint experiences with DJs? And another question: does anyone know why the DW has no "Faster" mode when used with WORD 3.0? Any fix known? Help? (For more DW info, see this group a week or two ago.) Like, caveat emptor, man. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - T. P.
