Tom J, I have read good reviews about the color lasers on CNet and PC World
and that's why I was interested. Also, a very reasonable price! The toner,
etc. also seems fairly reasonably priced right now, I just wonder about down
the road! My HP inkjets $$$ kill me and the cartridges are time stamped
with a use by date, so I can't stock up ahead. Thanks, Pat
