Dear Fellow XywritersFirst, is there a better term than fellow Xywritersto refer to us. My children call me a Ludite.. Withregard to conversion devices for USB to parellel, mysad experience is that they are slow as all get outand it is much better to use a parellel port card orbuy a pc that has a port on the mother board. I haveboth on my pcs and found that they are about the samein speed of output..Avrom Fischer mailto:avromf@xxxxxxxx
