It's too bad people today don't get a good classical education 
anymore.  This is the perfect place to make a reference to a 
character in Voltaire's Candide, Dr Pangloss, whose catch-phrase 
was "All is for the best in this, the best of all possible worlds".

I don't see how coming out with a replacement for the 2200 addresses 
my complaint that we will have to buy an expensive new printer just 
to get 5 lines of source code.   Or were you implying that Epson 
will issue a new driver for the 2200?
