Msg 42663 is 20 line(s) on 10/23/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to PHIL JERN re: R/HP LASERJET IIP Hey, glad you like the HP LJ II-P. Could we make a comparison? I spent just over $1K on my DeskJet, and got the following as a result: - full page LJ graphics - 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, and 14 point fonts in Times Roman & Helvetica, - Courier in 5 and 10 pitch 12 point, 16 and 20 pitch 6 point. - NO landscape - People asked "for that price why didn't you go for a Laser". Well, for one thing, there weren't as cheap a laser then, but also, to get "what I wanted" I'd have to add memory and several font cartridges. Thanks. - P.S. I finally got approval from work for a 2nd 44M drive for my 80- so while I really appreciate the offer of your 71M drive at the good price, and HATE to pass it up, I simply don't have a machine to put it in - unless I were to consider it an "upgrade" for my 2-yr-old Miniscribe (which had one "small crash" - at least that's what I'd call losing 3 clusters of data, each 1 track apart on the same "surface"). REALLY SORRY for not getting back to you sooner on your kind offer! Msg 42664 is 06 line(s) on 10/23/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to TONY ANTONUCCI re: R/COPY Yep! Sure got a lot of "files with no filetype" that are kind of big, after doing a copy of *.* to a non-existant directory. The other one I get a kick out of is when our publishing system is started without the "EPT" (dunno what it means, but it is a character driver) driver for the Postscript Printer. There are huge "EPT" files out on disk !8^) Msg 42665 is 22 line(s) on 10/24/89 from PHIL JERN to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: HP LASERJET /P Well, it's a little bit like comparing apples and oranges. I spent just a tiny bit over $1200 on this thing. for my money I got: 1. The basic printer itself 2. The not-so-optional lower cassette tray 3. One EP cartridge 4. A freebie printer cover from Elek-tek 5. An Elek-tek pen from the sales clerk at the register (because i begged) Capabilities? 512K of memory built in, I am able to download all the laser jet soft fonts, plus use cartridge fonts. Built in fonts include Courier in 10 and 12 point, eight point line printer, plus bold and italic typefaces in the Courier. All the internal fonts work in both portrait and landscape mode. The built in character sets are Roman-8, PC-8, PC-850, and something called ECMA-94. All together it comes to 34 variations, that can be printed in either orientation. Not too shabby in my book. Memory is expandable in 1 or 2 MB increments. plus there is a Postscript cartridge in the works. I hope this amplifies my previous message sufficiently. Oh yes, the output doesn't smudge if the humidity gets too high. :) Msg 42666 is 16 line(s) on 10/24/89 from MIKE LADA to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/PRODIGY Ward, No U/D loads in prodigy, what I was refering to was that evenings attempts to communicate/contribute to other BBS. As far as prodigy goes, I think its best feature is demonstrating to people with a 2400 baud modem what it must be like to own a 300 baud modem. I am very much a rookie at BBS and "modeming" and if it were not for the Prodigy offer of a Hayes personal modem I wouldn't be here. (At least not yet). Well anyway, reading the Prodigy EMail is a treat. It makes a rookie like me feel comfotable. You were right about the ability of the Hayes personal modem. At times the line conditions are such that I get lots of garbage. I'll let you know how it fares over time. Now another question. Do you know a good split screen editor, that allows swaping between windows and editing in either window, both text and hex? Thanks, Mike P.S. Bear with me, I'm still learning. It takes time to comprehend the command structures, and get proficient with various BBS's.

Msg 42670 is 08 line(s) on 10/26/89 from CALVIN CURTINDOLPH to MIKE DEER re: R/NEW AREA CODE I have added 708 to all of my suburban phone numbers. I only call f from within the city limit{. My calls get through. So what do you mean when you say that 708 is not available within Chicago? If you mean that Chicago numbers do not work when dialing 708 (i.e. - 708-545-8086 doesn't work), they are not supposed to - EVER! 708 is only for numbers outside the city limits. Calvin C Msg 42671 is 10 line(s) on 10/26/89 from KEN STOX to ALL re: NEW AREA CODE 708 Not all exchanges have installed the data necessary for use of area code 708. For example, here at Bell Laboratories, Indian Hill, 708 will be intercepted by the CO advising the caller that the call CANNOT be completed as dialed. This is pretty humorous, as our ISDN phones do display our numbers as 708. I suspect that more and more of us will be able to use 708 as the exchanges are updated. The November 11th date would be the day that ALL exchanges will have been updated by. So, if it works for you now, go ahead, but do not expect it to work out of every exchange until 11/11.
