I mistakenly gave some advice about the NEC entry level laser
printer recently.

I talked with NEC about this, and they said that in fact a new
laser printer would be released soon but would not be competitive
with the current 90 version (not as cheap).  To anyone interested
in getting a Postscript laser printer at a great price ($1599-$1699)
I urge you to get one.

The only competitve model I've seen is upgrading an HP IIP with an
Adobe cartidge and 2MB of RAM.  This costs around $1600-$1800 dollars
depending on your affiliation with an academic institution.

Sorry about the misinformation (beaver!you know who you are).
