Apple IIgs users were informed a while back that a new printer was to be
released on the US market. Hewlett-Packard set up a facility in Tailand to
produce Hewlett-Packard designed printer called Apollo. A certain Apple II
publication and publisher stated that the price would be about $79.00 US. That
was wrong. The "Rite-Aid" stores advertized on 8/29/99 that the Apollo P-1200
color inkjet printer was on sale at $49.99 US. That is a amazing price for a a
new color inkjet Printer by Hewlett-Packard for use with the IIgs. And, it has a
full guarantee from HP and color.

Upon calling several of the Rite-Aid stores locally to get varification on the
price it should be noted that the actual price the Apollo P-1200 sells for from
them is $89.95. After you purchase it you can send in a rebate form for a $50
rebate from Hewlett-Packard which in effect gives you the Apollo P-1200 color
inkjet printer for under $40 actually. Also please note that nation-wide, some
of the Rite-Aid stores have it in stock for retail sales while others are out of
stock currently due the the large number of sales and customer demand for this
printer.

Also note that the Apollo P-1200 inkjet Printer by Hewlett-Packard is the exact
same printer as the DeskJet 420c and so is the Barbie printer. by the way, the
DJ 420c, the Apollo-1200 and the Barbie printer are all fully IIgs compatible.

So, in the final review of the above information related it seems you can
actually get the Apollo P-1200 color inkjet printer from Rite-Aid stores with
your final cost being under $40, after rebate.

That's All Folks !
