- Huh? There is nothing wrong with graphics on a 24 pin printer. In fact they
- are vastly superior to 9 pin output. I would personally opt for the hard
- disk if you can afford it, in my mind much more practicle than a RAMlink
- (easier to expand, storage is permanent, etc) although if your dad is a die
- hard GEOS user the RAMlink is probably the better choice.
