Responding to the following:

"   Time for a reality check.  For 95% of the people in the Macintosh community,
the LaserWriter is totally useless.  The LaserWriter is not going to save the
Macintosh, because it is a product intended for a very limited purpose.  Few
Macintosh owners have any need whatsoever for a 300 DPI printer, and the
cost and limitations of the printer make the LaserWriter unsuitable for
other applications."

The LaserWriter is VERY well used in the Macintosh community, a heck of a lot
more than the Toaster is in the Amiga community. Heck, Apple's making almost as
much money on printers as on Macs!
