    an example of the neverending pursuit of accuracy:

	    Electronics news, Monday, April 8 1985
	    pp 33

	    ...
		Imagen's newest printer - the 24/300 -
	    prints at 24 ppm and has a resolution of
	    90,000 dots per inch.

	    ...

YOW!!!!! Speaking of accuracy, I hope you mean 90,000 
dots per SQUARE inch, or 300 dots per inch.

Otherwise you would need 89,100 MBytes of memory to 
hold an 8" x 11" page image.

Whereas you would only need 1 MByte at 300 DPI.
