Hi Cameron,

Yes. But working in graphics mode was unpleasant. Either lower resolution 
than I'm used to by now or too low a refresh rate -- causing (for me) visible 
flicker.

Envelope printing prints text in landscape mode doesn't it? If so its no 
wonder is was slow. That's the same as printing pure graphics -- the DJ500 
can't rotate the fonts.

I suggest you try WP7. Better integrated with Win95. Reasonably stable -- 
unless you try working on converted Word documents.
