	Your conclusion is a bit unfair.  The only thing the Mac was doing
	was sending PostScript code to the LaserWriter.  My posting was only
	stating the advantage a NeXT with a NeXT Laser Printer offered.  The
	time it would take a NeXT to print the same document on a LaserWriter
	IINT would probably be comparable to that of the Mac (or any other
	system), depending on the communication medium!  Sorry!  8^)
