I just received a flyer from Radio Shack today with two interesting
announcements:
1.) The price of their "X-PAD" graphics tablet has been cut from
$350 to $200. At this price it's beginning to look quite
reasonable as an input device, especially to all those who
snickered at the 64 X 64 resolution of the joystick port.
It plugs into the expansion port, but with the new expansion
chassis, both the X-pad and disk can be used simultaneouly.
2.) They have introduced a seven-color ink-jet printer with both
serial and parallel interfaces for $700. Looks a lot like
the Canon, though I can't be sure. They mention a COCO screen
dump program is available, for those of us who are lazy.
I plan to visit my local dealer this weekend. More details then.
