For Sale - Citizen PN60 color/b&W Notebook Printer (see
WWW.CITIZEN-AMERICA.COM for specs and rave reviews!), purchased as a
going-out-of-business 'close-out' item. Complete except for manual, box,
(has Mac Disks, cables, power supply, 2 b&w ribbons, etc.). Printer is
still registerable w/manufacturer. Printed about 6-7 test sheets, works
PERFECT w/MessagePads 130 & 2000's, MAC and Windows compatible.
Stylewriter I & II, IBM, Epson, NEC emulations built-in and
multi-language support, this is like a full-grown laser-quality color &
B&W printer in a 9-1/2" x 1-3/4" x 2" package! Probably weighs about 1
lb! It's slightly larger than 2 sticks of butter laid end-to-end!
Awesome to have for school, meetings, traveling, printing invoices at
client sites - whatever! Actually small enough to fit in the MP2k OEM
case w/the keyboard! Retails for $399, asking $250/offer, you pay COD,
shipping.

anybody who's interested in this printer should also take a look at

a web auction house, the last bid for this printer was a low of $59.
not afiliated with onsale or even particularly interested in this printer
so YMMV.

The Notebook printer you are so ignorantly pointing to is as far from
the PN60 as the Newton MP is from a desktop Mac or PC. If you'd like to
compare or brush up on specs, check the link to
http://WWW.CITIZEN-AMERICA.COM/ as I mentioned in the post. At least if
you're going to try to make a comment, check your facts and make your
observation intelligently.

what part of this do you find so ignorant? both of these printers have the
same list price on the Citizen web site, the one your selling is about
$150 more and appears to be about 2 inches smaller. I corrected my post
that it was the same printer and said that I was just trying to point to
possible alternatives that could be of use and explained that I wasn't in
the market for this particular printer. your tone is insulting and
defensive and I'll probably ignore any attempts to keep this *DISCUSSION*
alive.

once again, Your MIleage May Vary, and this printer may be a GREAT deal
for you as I indicated in my earlier post, OR this much cheaper printer
may be good also.

Sorry for the wasted bandwith.

My apologies publicly, Dale. My comment was off-the-cuff and uncalled
for in light of your helpful enthusiasm. I'm sorry.
