I do not understand whether comparable things are being compared.  The 
HP Laserjet II for under $2000 has only 512k memory; to expand it to 
postscript capabilty cost another $1500 (roughly).  Did Mr. Wolff imply that
the $2500 Cltd printer will require less expansion to have postscript 
capability?  From what I have learned so far, it seems impossible to get
postscript capability for less than ~$3200.
