How about a possibly different scenario RE the LC with //e emulator?
Your company, school or whatever buys a few of these and a bunch of
Mac software. One day you notice a novice computer user trying to wade
through 600 pages of Pagemaker manual to turn out a simple brochure.
You put the LC into //e mode, pop in Publish-it!3 and show them how to
do it in about five minutes. Now you've got their attention, so set the
hook. Publish-it!3 will print to the laserwriter just like Pagemaker but
what about an Imagewriter, which is more in the ballpark for a home buyer?
Compare the print quality of Mac software on a dot matrix printer to the
quality of // software. Most Mac software is written for the laserwriter
and can't compare to the output of the // when a dot matrix printer is
used. Now we talk about prices. A //c+, mouse, memory card with a meg
and lots of // software can be purchased for the price of some Mac
software packages alone. ( This isn't to exclude the GS, now that you've
got their attention you can show them one ). Imagine the look on the boss
or lab managers face when he comes in some afternoon and finds all of his
$3000 LCs running Publish-it!, Timeout enhanced Appleworks and Printshop.
Bridges connect both ways.
