You know, Richard, you don't listen.

I posted an article explaining WHY the SLM804 is sometimes faster than
other laser printers, even with faster print engines, in certain
situations.  Several people posted articles saying, yes, in real life,
they have seen this.

I can assure you that, running Ultrascript, the SLM804 will beat the pants
of your Panasonic laser printer printing, for example, full page bitmaps.

Why don't you benchmark it in various situations before you shoot your
mouth off? Why can't you include a little disclaimer, "Well, there are
situations where the SLM804 is a lot faster than the Panasonic." Yes,
the Panasonic may be the best printer for you, but not necessarily for
everyone else. They might be very surprised to plug it in and find
that it doesn't print 11 pages per minute, every minute.

Your attitude is entirely non-professional. I hope you grow out of
your childish Atari-bashing phase.
