I remember the difficulties - the counter sheets weren't printed, and the 
box was flimsier then expected.

But as for resolving the issue with the printer. . . excuse me for this, 
but I've gotten used to straight talk from folks. . . but are you stating 
that Pinnacle was too inept to deal with the situation?  Or that this 
situation was different from the hordes of other problems they have overcome?

The real slums are another matter. The bad parts of Tondo are as bad as any 
place I've seen,
ancient, filthy houses swarmed with the poor and stinking of sewage and 
trash. But there are
worse parts - squatter areas where people live under cardboard, in shipping 
crates, behind
tacked-up newspapers. Dad would march you straight to the basement with a 
hairbrush in his
hand if he caught you keeping your hamster cage like this.
