	I concur, although the IBM printers are a little large for
convenience stores and other places that need a dedicated barcode printer.  

	The IBM will also print standard reports, of course.

	I like the easy tear-off and label peeling on the IBM 23/24.  When
you do a top-of-form, it moves the label up high enough where you can really
get at it.  

	Another factor is that label stock is cheaper for the IBM's, if you
need a quantity of labels.  In this case, Bill indicated he just needs a few
labels a day.

	The Eltron has a few advantages, other than being a dedicated label
printer.  For example, you have more control over placement of items.  It
would be much more tedious to design a complex label on the IBM.

	Maybe Bob Rasmussen will release a Linux version of Anzio and
Printwiz, so that Bill can have his cake and eat it, too!
