That's kind of what I expected, in general.  Thanks for the reference to
the PC World magazine; I will look for it.  (It would be nice to know what
``quite frequently'' means.  Also, since lasers are faster, it may even be
worth paying a little more and sacrificing color...)

I promise that I'll learn to read.  One of these days.  After I learn to
count.  Maybe.
