Hi, I am a new owner for an IBM compatible (386). I am looking for recommendation for printer and mouse. 1. Printer. I am torn between getting a 24pin, or an inkjet. The inkjets (Canon Bubblejet, HP Deskjet) are nice, but they cost double than 24 pins. Also, I heard rumours about ink smearing on inkjet's output. Is that true? If I do get a 24 pin, I would appreciate some opinion, recommenda- tion on Epson, Citizen, Panasonic, NEC. I have seen some quasi-Postscript software that claims to be able to emulate Postscript on 24-pins. Anyone has experience with these? I think one of iT is called GoScript. 2. Mouse. I am not sure I should get the Microsoft mouse, or the Logitec mouse. I am looking for specific pros and cons. I like the higher 400 dpi resolution of the Microsoft, but I preferred the matt texture plastic of Logitec. I am planning on running Window/386, if it matters. Does anyone know if I get the Microsoft's Window/286+mouse bundle, how much do I have to pay to upgrade to Window 386? Thanks for all your help. I would appreciate e-mailing. casey ngkong@oregon.uoregon.edu
