"I just bought a Deskjet Plus printer.  Wow, is it impressive!"

    My response:  WHIMPER

"I am one of those people who saw the plain Deskjet and wondered why
 anyone would bother buying such a slow, overpriced printer."

    Probably cause I needed 300 DPI and was able to get my DeskJet for
$600.00 at a local PC wholesale club.

"[The DeskJet is a] Useless heap of junk, in my opinion."

    Diane!  Shame on you.  My DeskJet thought that you were its friend!

"  P.S. I hope I haven't offended you plain Deskjet owners too much. If you like
your printer that's just fine with me.  To each his own.  I'm just saying *I*
didn't think much of the Deskjet."

    Gee, is Diana happy with the DeskJet Plus and her ST?  Naw, I didn't
think so either.  GRIN.
    Congrats, Diana.  I can't wait to see the Plus in action.  Maybe next
year I'll sell my DeskJet Plain for a Plus.  Who says we need $1500 and up
for sophisticated 300 DPI printing.  The DeskJet opened the door.  Sounds
like the Plus is going to really smoke.
    Grin, Diana.  Maybe you can write up a review and send it on the net?
