1. The ln03 printer 'bonsai' was actually still showing the 1 and the blinking
fellow when I came up here after talking to you, but there was a printout in the
tray that looked okay. I powercycled the printer and it came out with a test
shet that also looked okay, and then the red lights stayed off. I sent it a
print job of lotsof letters in tiny fonts and it looked good. So, that seems
to be just fine.
2. Corbu was not too great -- the parallax head was showing the standard athena
login but didn't respond to the keyboard; the console was showing >>> and when
I pressed 'b', it started finishing its boot cycle. So I flipped the switch for
autoreboot and I haven't tested that yet, but the system restarts fine. I'm
logged into it now and I must say the display is pretty sharp -- good job!
However the display is definitely squished horizontally, so that circles, as
in 'oclock' are ovals. That could use another tweak. (Circles are the best
test of the display because you the non-roundness really jumps out at you.)
Thanks for the perseverance!
Rob
