The 740 had everything going for it...
-Low price
-Pretty good quality for the time
-Connectors for parallel, serial, and USB
-Special editions to match fruit-flavored iMacs called the 740i (though they were more expensive...which is why I got a plain beige one with my iBook)
-Decent yield per cartridge
My biggest complaint about the printer is that it develops bands over time. (How many other 740 users have had this problem?) I retired mine in 2005 when I got my LaserJet 1020 but I still have it just in case I need it.
