  16. NB 4 *does* support proportional fonts, and unless I am
  17. mistaken, so does NB 3.  The difference is that NB 4
  18. an unlimited range of sizes--everything from 4 point to
  19. 256 point--whereas NB 3 allows only predetermined sizes--
  20. 10, 12, 14, 18 pt., etc.  Of course, you have to have a
  21. printer capable of printing propotional fonts.  For this
  22. reason, I would strongly recommend the Hewlett Packard
  23. IIIP.  It prints beautifully and at a reasonable speed, and
  24. HP offers educational discounts.  I bought mine a year ago
  25. for $950; it's probably available for something less than
  26. that now given Hewlett Packard's agressive pricing.

  28. On Monday, NB Informatics told me that NB 4 was shipping
  29. that very day.  Has anyone yet received the program?
