Mr Hix may hav ommitted to say that the PLWIINT IS a postscript printer... I'm not the first person to have pointed this out to you Mr group, would you mind waiting a few minuits to try and UNDERSTAND replies to your postings before you hop onto that f key? > There IS a reason you know >that Apple charges you so much extra for PostScript with its printers. This is also known as the money that goes directly into Adobe's pockets, and not Apples's as it is due to Adobe's high license fees. As another request, would you please stop presenting your personal opinions as fact? A number of the points you have made in the last few days in this thread have been based more on your personal perception than on any semblance of "fact". Yet another request Mr group, would be to take this thread to another newsgroup. This diatribe has gone on entirely too long; while your opinions on the new NeXTs vs Macs were at first informative to mac users (please recall that this is a Mac newsgroup) they have long ceased to bring us any new information, are thus no longer pertinant to the charter this newsgroup was created with, and take up altogether too much of my news spool. As I am assume the NeXT newsgroups no more desire your repetive expose than we do, I suggest alt.religion.computers.
