I have to totally agree with you.  If it is true, then one have to
spend FOUR DAYS to print his 200 page dissertation with a Deskwriter.
By the way, is it strictly required to keep the limitation of the
MAXIMUM of 50 pages/day for a Deskwriter? 
What will happen if more than, say, 100 pages are printed at once?
Will it cause serious mechanical or electrical problems, or the Deskwriter
will make dirty output, or what else?
As a grad student who is planning to write dissertation on a Mac, it
is very important question to be answered before buying a Deskwriter.
I appreciate any comments on this matter.
