Unless you like Inkjet Cartridge Extortion, I wouldn't bother. You can 
get a decent postscript-talking network-aware laserprinter for 
reasonable rates these days - check out everythinglinux.com.au, for 
example, or scout about ebay.com.au.

I object to having to pay $70 for a (often half-filled) cartridge, and I 
refuse to fill the damn things myself. Inkjet printer cartridges are now 
prime fodder for the same carpetbaggers who used to flog cheap floppies.

Furthermore, only Microworld Basic v 5.22 has any merit as a programming 
language. You may now set follow-ups accordingly.
