 Basically, they intergrate a cheap modem/fax chipset, a lackluster scanner,
 and a lackluster LED/thermal/ink jet printer... into a lackluster package.

 RW> multifunctional.
 No big deal, Fax machines had always been at about $300... for a long time
 already...
 RW> What the difference is between the big leagues and selling for
 RW> 1000 or  just 300 is the service that is privided.  Xerox type 
 RW> service of only a 3 hour wait makes machines tripple in 
 RW> value, because... because they WORK and do the job that 
 RW> they were sold to do!
 Yeah, yeah, yeah... and next you are gonna sell us a machine like that, eh?
 No thank you... with that $1000... I'd use $300 for EPSON's Stylus Color
 series printer, $300 for Courier (whatever the price is now) and save
 the rest when I can accumliate enough to get a decent desktop flatbed
 scanner... and I can transmit and receive better than that machine, print
 better than that machine... and the scanner when bought, will do a LOT
 better for a couple hundred dollars more...
... He who dies with the most TAGLINES, DIES!
