A while ago, someone posted some specs for the new PT-9000 machine.
Unfortunatly, our newsreader choked, and I missed the post. Could someone
please re-post the specs!

Thanks!!!

Thanks for posting the information on this machine. I've been interested
in it for a long time, but I haven't seen any announcements of its actual
release and no one here sells it. Is it actually available yet?

It was originally due out last November, and the latest I heard is April
or May. But who knows?
