I think your right, but i think the point he was getting at is it was
free, and he didn't have to keep unplugging the thing everytime he wanted
to print (which is defenently possible)
I say go for it - allthough i do recomend the internal SCSI (which i have)
its faster than all of them, and it only takes one of a possible 7 devices
out of ya scsi chain :] (but i do wish i had an external for porability
reasons)
