True, but there are things about the Photosmart that give me pause. Thing
number one: it uses a *proprietary* SCSI interface card, which just eats room
on my motherboard that I can't afford. I *really* would've liked it if HP
could've seen their way clear to using a standard SCSI card -- I could've just
diasy-chained the thing into my other peripherals and forgotten about it. Mind
you, it *is* a good price for the wee beastie...
