Summary: Ventura is a fine product.


Ventura Publisher 1.1 will be out in a few weeks and I am
eagerly awaiting its arrival. We have been using version 1.0
here for a few months and are very impressed. On an AT this
program is fast! Why it even ran respectably fast on an old
XT we had. We are running it with a Wyse 700 (Amdek 1280)
high resolution monitor (a color version will be released
soon) for full-page makeup capabilities. I recommend the
display as much as I do Ventura.

	Ventura 1.0	can be had for around $650
	Wyse 700	lists for $999. Can buy for ~$899.
	AT clone	comes in cereal boxes now!

(Pagemaker is also out. I plan on sticking with Ventura for
most application and using Pagemake only for single page paste-up
jobs. And I still use troff/tbl and pic!!!)

Also - NEC is set to release an LED based printer featuring
Postscript and HP's PCL next month (300 dpi resolution). And
Phoenix technologies (the main BIOS cloners) will be doing a
Postscript clone soon! Thank god. It seems silly that Adobe
based Postscript devices are so absurdly expensive!!
