Here are the latest visions from my crystal ball as it shines in the
bright Florida sunlight..

The laser drivers that Bill Hineman (sp?) is working on for Vitesse
seem to be running a little behind schedule, and target date for release
is now October 15th.

Sometime in November the GS will have available the first in a series of
"rescaleable fonts" on disk. The first set should have about 16 fonts on
it. There will also be an optionable scaleable fonts editor program. 
These will work in conjunction with the above mentioned drivers. Thus
the need for buying Postscript will not be there, meaning you can purchase
the lower end laser printers. The best part of this is that all of the
above products will retail in the $35-$50 range.. 

Vitesse is the company that will bring these products to us, and I would
like to cast my vote of support to them for their help in making the GS
reach new heights in useability. My $$$ await the release of these
products...

By the way, I am in no way connected with Vitesse or the above mentioned
products, but rather just a happy GS user.. :-)
