Paul, Haven't seen anything but small cosmetic changes to the dell.com page. I checked and they are still selling PII's. I will check everyone's web page on Monday when the Celeron 433 is announced. I'll also call Dell on Monday and check.

To all PC experts - a question. I noticed in an article on the new PIII computers that a lot of the new loaded computers have all the IRQs committed. Is that a problem. I thought that win95 and win 98 will take an added PCI board and arrange to share the IRQ so there isn't a problem. But there must be some real limit to the number of devices you can add. I want to add a peer to peer network card, perhaps a cable modem and Intel's create and share camera for inexpensive teleconferencing. Creat and share comes in a USB package so that's no problem but the other two are. Thanks in advance for any info on whether I should be worried about buying a new computer with all the IRQs accounted for. Burt BJMasnick@aol.com

Dear Paul: Well, I figured out what it is. Trouble is I cant fix it myself. Its a bushing that fits over a white plastic bar which fits down in a slot BEHIND the big rubber bushings you can see from the top of the printer. So to get at it you need to tear down the printer and I understand it takes special tools to do that. Dont know what it will cost but am told minimum wait is one week to 10 days. What a pain. I would just buy a new printer but I have been very happy with the quality of this one. JDN
