Summary: $1500 is no longer bottom price

I just got an advertisement in the mail from a local, well-established
computer store here in Columbus featuring a new laser printer:  the Okidata
Laserline 6.  According to the flyer, it features:

	o 15 resident fonts
	o 6  pages per minute
	o Compatible with software for Laserjet printers
	o Paper input tray handles up to 150 pages
	o Correct order output
	o Accessory modules allow the Laserline's capabilities to
	  grow with you

The bottom line cost?  $1395!

Well, Alex, Neal, &co  -- do I hear $1295?

Disclaimer[0]:	I have not actually seen this printer, and am *not* 
		recommending it.  Of course, I have not actually seen
		Atari's printer either.
