True, it was a beast. I had one and I bought a box of paper for it. I used nearly all of it up. I bought a colour ribbon for it so it could print in the five or six basic colours if you didn't want to keep your ribbon. It was OK until I bought my Quadra 610 together with a flatbed scanner and a LaserWriter Select. Ahhh, the good old days.
