Both MacWorld and MacUser do the same brain-dead illustrations.  The
DeskWriter on p. 206 is a prime example.  The fonts weren't the DW
outline fonts, the graphic was a 72dpi bitmap (or a postscript),
it's both unfair to HP and also shows that a moron was responsible
for doing the comparisons.  MacUser did something similar with
the LaserWriter IISC a couple months back.
