I have been using PageMaker on my Stock PC with CGA for several weeks -
bought it on a money-back basis due to the "AT" requirement on the box-
but it is like a company saying you need such-and-such size car to pull
their trailer - something smaller may work but you may be sorry.
  I'm not sorry - I'm having a blast.  Sure, wish I had an AT, but don't
AVOID PageMaker just because you don't have an AT.
  My real dilemma: while this is just a learning experience, and we are
supposedly going to get an IBM laser soon at work, I would LOVE to have
better output at home than supplied by my JX-80 (FX-80 compatible).
  Heck, Fancy Font, NicePrint, and other packages do EXCELLENT high res
output on it, too bad the windows driver is a "single pass" type.
  Any feedback on the best price performer short of a $2400 laser ($1700
LJ-II and $700 2M memory board)?  How about the 24-pin printers?
  P.S. there's an ALDUS sig on Compuserve - another excellent PageMaker
resource.
