Resist next time...

LOLOL Agreed (about resisting next time).
I've further revised the head to head to spell out just why and what I
was interested in.
There is an interesting side to this, and I'll do a followup piece on
it. And that is that I often see people on a couple of other lists I am
on debating whether they can get away with a printer like the 3800 (or
even 2800) or whether they need to go to something like the 7800 or
Z3100. Now of course there is really no comparison between the two: the
paper handling options, width, ink capacity and likely longevity and
ease of service make a Z3100 far superior. But in terms of print quality
they can be VERY close, so it depends on what people are looking for.
BTW the criticisms were mostly valid, so there was no point in taking
offense.
