To you since I don't want to foul the network:

	Right on!

	I work at Ford Divirsified Products in Dearborn Michigan.
	Specifically for The Electronics group known as EED.

	I had the task of trying graphics on the xerox 2700 off of
	a Prime 850 going through my own print spooling system that uses
	s Sytek LAN to do print serving for the building.  

	I came to the conclusion that evne if the 2700 could hold
	the image info we sent it ... It  just would not be worth it
	since the data requirements to draw a diagonal was 4 times
	the pixel length.  It can down to it then that a single image
	of the  kind we needed would take about 6 times the memory
	available in the 2700 at that time (2.5 years ago).

	I have only been on the net about a year but this is the first
	time I have seen anyone call Xerox to the board!
