   I paid my royalties, by buying a licensed cartridge for my IIP.  I know

   able to do something else, while I print.  It's just a personal choice.
   If I had wanted to, I could have used a PD interpreter.

Ever heard of multitasking?  Then you know that the CPU can do
something else while it's printing.  Wow, someone just printed while I
was typing this message.

And before you mention it, NeXT changed the priority under 2.0 so that
printing has a lower priority.  Isn't multitasking neat?
