I'm pretty sure there is. I just checked HP DeskJet 930c, 980cxi, 990cxi and
1220c. For all of them, a minimum system requirement is DOS 3.3, and all of
them seems to come with some kind of DOS utility "with limited
functionality". Just like mine "old" HP DJ 690c. So it seems like at least
HP hasn't entirely abandoned DOS yet.

I guess you don't have to bother so much about printers then. But some of us
still will. ;-)

Let me know if you want to borrow my Episode 1 DVD. Could be nice for me,
especially as you don't have a DVD player ;-)

Have you sent that script to George Lucas yet? Don't forget to tell him
about the "angle" function of DVD players. It would be fun to mix different
versions of the movie "on the fly" ;-)

Does that include ancient printers, too? ;-)

Actually, that is not as much a Tele2 site as it is a Disney site. And as
such, it would probably require Micro$soft programs to operate properly. I
have that mousepad too, and I consider using it as door carpet. :-/
