WE are printer-shopping for use on BioRad 600, multi-user,
multi-disciplinary applications.  Your comments make the Codonics sound
great--would it be too much trouble to send me a few varieties of your
printouts so that I can show my colleagues for comparison?  I would
really appreciate it.  My mailing address is:
        Dr. Fay Hansen-Smith
        Dept. Biological Sciences
        Oakland University
        Rochester, MI  48309-4401
If you want, you could send it COD & I will pay the postage.  Thanks a lot!
