(i) You must be using awfully old driving software for the Dover, if the
waiting period is that long

(ii0 That compariosn is only valid for making ONE copy of a short
document. In that respect, the Dover is more like the 9700 than it is
like the LaserWriter. My comment was meant to indicate that users who
expected the printer to produce 10 copies of a five page memo would not
be satisifed if a Laserwriter appeared to replac a terminally-ill Dover.

[[Editor's note: I have the rather strong impression that we are
comparing dissimilar things.  The LaserWriter is clearly not as
fast a printer as is the Dover.  No one expects it to be.  The key
concept here is that one can afford to buy dozens of LaserWriters for
the price of one Dover.  Given a choice, I'd prefer my own slower, low
volume printer located in my office to a shared faster, high volume
printer located across the street.			--Rick]]
