- Yes, it is 360 dpi. I find the speed of my StyleWriter to be acceptable for
- what I do, which is to write a few letters, print envelopes, print out some
- doccy. Light duty is the keyword here.
-
- The only possible problem is that I cannot network it. Am I right in thinking
- the DeskWriter can be put on AppleTalk? This may be a consideration for some
- folks. In addition, if I cannot put my StyleWriter on Appletallk, then I have
- to use the serial port for it. If I also use a modem, how can I then later add
- Appletalk? Seems I have run out of ports.
-
- Bottom line is, there is no *right* choice, just what is right for your
- circumstances. I am very happy with my StyleWriter.

- Tim.
