Back then, though, I knew too much. I was thinking... why on Earth hasn't IBM come out with a daisywheel version of the Selectric Composer? (Ideally, one with 60 units per inch as well as 72, 84, and 96 as options, so it could also use typewriter- like elements too for the ordinary work.) I guess at IBM someone foresaw the laser printer coming soon, and realized it wouldn't be worth the bother. John Savard
