No I don't still print invoices because I'm now full-time at SMU so I'm not doing outside work (well, nearly none!). That was the best thing about having the laptop is I could print to the portable printer without using wires etc. It used the infra-red port and has an internal battery. It did a nice job and was a big help to me as I am severely penmanship challenged! I don't use that printer any more. I am really enjoying being full-time at the school. I have one focus and I now have the time to do all the things (well, many of the things) I should have been doing when I was part-time. dave __________________________________________ David M.
