MOTM

I have a Brother P-Touch for labeling. I love this thing! Cost about $80
but has many uses. You can buy the labels in all sorts of sizes and
colors. And for the ultra-cheap mult I use these Headphone type splitter
jacks but with the mono plugs. You just plug the single end into a jack
and you have two outputs instantly. You can move them around at will and
they are fairly low profile. And did I say cheap!. Charles.
