Summary: The Atari Laser Printer _may_ be useful

[]

IF the Atari laser printer comes out, and IF it is as planned: just the
mechanics, no smarts, THEN it will have as much memory as you'll stuff
into the ST (next year: 4 megs), and will run any page description
language that you will get software for (on an ST disk!).  In other words,
it will be _very_ flexible.  And even when the ST becomes obsolete (i.e.,
as soon as the Mac II becomes available in quantity) the ST+printer as
a package will be a nice printer --- assuming that software will be available
to run it that way, with the input coming from outside of the ST.

But then, we havn't seen a new Atari product in almost two years.
