	Q1. Who really makes them?

	    Olivetti.  The DECjet 1000 is Olivetti's JP150.
                       The DECjet 2000 is Olivetti's JP360.

	Q2. How do they compare to a DESKjet 500?

	    H-P does not have a product that competes against the DECjet 1000.
	    The DESKjet 500 is better positioned against the DECjet 2000. 

	BTW the DECjet was part of a PC Magazie (August edition) review
	of portable printers.  We're quite pleased with our showing in
	this review.


	DEC Advantages:(our perception)/(DECjet 2000 vs. H-P DESKjet 500)

	. High Speed Draft on the DECjet 2000
	. Optional sheet feeder and tractor feeder on the DECjet 2000
	. No OFF board Power supply
	. Easier envelope feed
	. Better paper path
	. More powerful control panel on the DECjet 2000 - can access all 
	  internal fonts.
	. Better setup switches
	. UNIX international character set

			H-P DESKjet 500		DECjet 2000

	Speed		120/240			120/240/360
	Sheet feeder	100 sheets		150 sheets
	Opt. tractor 	No			Yes
	Emulations	H-P Deskjet		H-P Deskjet
