	I like my okimate 10.

	I use the okimate for printouts sometimes, using Xerox
	paper or pretty smooth fanfold.  The print isn't great,
	but it beats the thermal printer I used to have.

	Compared to the 1525, it is very light print.
	I returned a 1525 once, after suffering through a sound
	slightly worse than a dentist drill.  I just couldn't take it.
	The Oki is very quiet.

	The graphics mode is quite good, except for a one pixel white
	line every eight graphics lines.  The color mode does burn up
	ribbon, but for my uses (generally less than a full screen)
	it comes out about the price of color Xeroxing.

	My favorite use for it is printing directly onto acetate for
	producing color overhead slides, which I use in presentations.
	It prints better on Acetate than it does on paper.
