Well Guys (And Gals) I start my new job on Monday and will be working for the dealer that purchased Finch-Brown. My new dealer is Boise Office Equipment. I am happy to say that they are the largest independant here in Boise and I stand to do very well there. We carry BOTH Ricoh and Kyocera-Mita and will likely pick up the Lanier line as well. Just so everyone knows! That's the deal from here in Boise. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving Graham

On the main topic page of this board there is a section called Connectivity and Technical Services under that section you will find a section specically devoted to AS400. As of this time there is no IPDS firmware module (needed for AS400 printing) for the 2035/45. Ricoh is hinting that it is in the works. It could be out sooner or later. Remember, Patience is a virtue.

New company I am going to work for is also a Kyocera and Ricoh dealer! I'll keep y'all up to date

Now I will know who to call with Kyocera-Mita questions. Best of luck Graham.

Nope, but I have heard that it will attach to any printer that supports PCL Graham

Hello All, Is it possible to limit the number of prints a user can select with this feature installed on a CL3000? Limiting access to color or B/W and then monitoring the user codes for actual prints are the only benefits I can see. Thanks, Bill D.

writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the "For" line. Instead, just put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check processing channels won't have access to it. - Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home phone. If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. Never have your SS# printed on your checks (DUH

; calendar makers were the worst hit because they printed calendars years in advance and FDR made their calendars out of date for the next two years. Schools were also disrupted by Roosevelt's decision; most schools had already scheduled vacations and annual Thanksgiving Day football games by the time they learned of Thanksgiving's new date and had to decide whether or not to reschedule everything. Moreover, many Americans were angry that Roosevelt tried to alter such a long-standing tradition
