(BTW, my mistake, it is the BROTHER P-Touch). Modern P-Touches have USB interfaces and you can automate the label printing, so if you have to label 1000 things and you have a reasonable script you can do it. > I find it's hard to get the backing peeled off (although my Ptouch > doesn't have the little feature that nicks the edge to make it > easier).

As long as you've brought it up, who do you buy pre-numbered and pre-labeled cables from? Even if you manage that, though, it won't help with labeling cabinets, machines, etc. -- I find the labeler gadgets are really useful. -- Perry E.
