- Just the reverse. Except for WordWorth and them all files came out as text
- dumped from the computer for me. Since I put it on a PC all the PC sends it
- is graphics which slows it down. Colour on the PC is 5 times slower than on
- the Amiga.
- Helps if you have the right drivers as well.

- Humm. What are all those cannon drivers out there then. Okay they may not
- be done by cannon but they are done by someone who knows what they are
