This was for someone who types insurance reports -- car wrecks;
workers' compensation; disability -- on carbon sets.  They have
traditionally wanted an original + 2 carbon copies.  But now,
the typist (dear mom, 70 years old, just got her first PC) and
my sister who is consulting me on equipment, is looking at an
HP LaserJet.  The people she types for can make copies themselves.
That is, if they are not to headstrong to change with the times.
