ditto, plotters can get VERY pricey, anywhere from starting at a few grand up to a nice luxury car. If you only have a few kinkos will be a better bet. Unless by large format you mean only around prints of 13x9 or so. -Richard Bae richardbae.com On 7 May 2004, at 21.25, john slavin wrote

Also to note, running OS X off a USB 1.1 would just be way too slow, the speeds of USB 1.1 are not suitable to run off of imo. I would also recommend looking into upgrading the internal hard drive instead. -Richard Bae On 4 May 2004, at 04.27, Eugene Lee wrote: On Tue, May 04, 2004 at 04:59
