Hi Supertimer



 
Hi supertimer.  Good to see you back.  We have much to learn from you.
 
My PC tower project for the bludisk is getting started again.
 
I just bought a ROM 3 from Bill Shuff. I've been looking for a 
math coprocessor so bought that too. My hubby was sweet to buy it 
for my Christmas present.  I hope to have the system going for the 
users group meeting in San Francisco end of January.  
 
I also bought a 56K modem with power from the wall instead of the 
keyboard like the 33.6K setup.  It goes noticably faster set at 56K 
on Spectrum than the 38k I was using. I discovered that when someone 
picks up an extension phone, the computer isn't kicked offline like
it does when the keyboard supplies power.  
 
My next investment is a printer.  My HP deskjet 692c is failing.  We 
bought a 4 in 1 for the PC and it's a wonderfully useful machine. 
I'm betting I can run one on the GS because several use PCL3 language.  
I know I won't be able to scan documents to the GS, but I bet I can 
copy, send faxes and print with it.  I'm waiting for a refurbished 710
4 in 1 to come available at HPshopping.com for $139.  If I miss that
opportunity there are others varieties at twice the price new.
