I use a Mac se with pagemaker each day putting out our newspaper on saipan. I a
am helping am also helping a frioend with a compueterland AT clone with
640 k - 2 30 meg dh'd and atop-of-the HP printer.

I find Pagemaker operates exactly the same on both machines, with the exception
the PC version is slower in windows.

If it redraws a page in bitmapped (non rez fonts) it is very slow.

Plus we have had a tremendous difficulty in getting gfonts to show up in the
type selection windows.

We have also successfullly transported pagemaker pages from my mac
to his clone over a modem ..... they print well enough, but things like screens
and other goodies tend to be a lot darker on the HP.
