----------------------------------------------
Printer

What is the story on printer compatability with the Mac?
My local store and computer center punt - you gotta get the Imagewriter
they say.

But I hear hints of that Epsons etc work with Mac, with the proper 
"driver" (?)

So, is it possible to get true complete compatability out of a 
non-Apple printer?  And in particular, and the real reason I ask, is 
how about any of the current 24 PIN printers?

------------------------------------------
Modem

I need a modem.  Should I get the apple modem?  Must I?
Are there any 2400 baud modems that are fully compatable?

----------------------------------------

Thanks very much,
Art
