My sister basically wants an IBM system for Wordperfect with a NLQ
printer.  Now the best NLQ I know of for the price are daisy wheel
printers, I think.  Anyway, the only one I found was the diablo
635 for $149.  This printer was rated 55cps.

At 20 cps (rated) is the Amdek daisywheel printer.  That is slow.
It is $200. 

For $248 I could get her the Nec Pinwriter 2000 XE or for $275 I can
get the Panasonic 1124 or the Epson LQ - 510.

If the diablo isn't the obvious choice, then I liked the Nec 2000 XE,
and the Pansonic 1124.

Which would you buy?  (If I can get the HP deskjet I will!)

Thanks for your thoughts and input.  I appreciate the time it takes to
reply.
