I would like to start a thread on the new Apple printers.
(if this already hasn't been talked about!)

I'm interested in a personal/home printer for my //ci.
I have access to a Laser printer, so I can bring documents
in on disk and print them, but I want to be able to do so at
home.  The new Apple StyleWriter seems perfect for this, but
its new and I want to hear what people say about it.

I'm not too particullay worried about speed.  Although
the stylewriter is SLOW, it is entirely dependent on the
computer's CPU, so a //ci should be much speeder than
printing from a Classic.  What about HP's inkjets?

I've also heard that the Stylewriter does not use the 
spooler which could be a big disadvantage if it is as
slow as I think it is.

Let's hear from some Stylewriter owners!
