Dear Bob, You certainly got my attention with that offer that I couldn't refuse but after careful consideration and research, I don't know if the HPIIID is any more current than my HP DeskJet 712C that's now working smoothly again. There's no doubt that if I requested a new printer from the Town of Porter Board of Directors due to the wear and tear on my present one recently, they would buy me the newest high tech one in a heartbeat. But in spite of my position as Town of Porter Historian, I'm still one of the old Depression Era babies who still pinches pennies and if it still works, don't fix it. The Town can't quite figure out my attitude toward turning them down with their offers of "whatever you need, it's yours." I keep telling them that IF I really need something or some supplies, I'll let them know. Somehow, however, they always seem to be disappointed that I don't demand more of the Town than I do. In fact just about anything I would REALLY need would be automatically covered by my annual Historian's budget which I can never imagine spending that amount of money covering my official duties in one year. Nonetheless, thanks Bob for your generosity in coming to my aid right now. That's what friends do for each other. vee
